After a flop of KsJs3c, Nick Marsico checked the small blind, Donny Rubinstein bet 20,000 from the button, and Marsico called. The turn card was the 10d, Marsico bet 40,000, and Rubinstein called.

The river card was the 9s, Marsico checked, Rubinstein bet 40,000, and Marsico thought for a bit before he called, leaving himself just 60K in his stack.

Donny Rubinstein:  AhAs7s4h  (ace-high flush)
Nick Marsico:  Ac4d3d2c  (pair of threes)

Donny Rubinstein  –  725,000  (18 BB)
Nick Marsico  –  60,000  (2 BB)

A few minutes later, after a flop of 8h7c5h, Marsico got it all in for his last 10,000 or so against James Gunter.

James Gunter:  10h8s7d6s  (two pair, straight draw)
Nick Marsico:  AdJsJd9c  (pair of jacks, gutshot straight draw)

The turn card was the 9s, the river card was the Kh. Neither player had a qualifying low, and Gunter won the pot with a ten-high straight to eliminate Marsico in fifth place.

James Gunter  –  380,000  (10 bb)
Nick Marsico  –  Eliminated in 5th Place  ($5,275)
