Lawrence Paden open-shoved for the second hand in a row, this time for 37,800 and it was called by Michael Aron in the small blind.

Aron was ahead with Ac8c against QcJh but Paden his the JcTc7s flop. Aron still had plenty of draws and hit the 9h turn to take the lead with a queen-high straight. The river was the Qd, sealing Paden’s elimination.

Michael Aron – 250,000 (104 bb)
