Ari Engel opened to 18,000 and picked up calls from Brandon Miller and Tony Ruberto. Paul Balzano moved all in from the small blind for ~325,000 and Engel went into a short tank. He called all in for less followed by Miller and Ruberto releasing their hands.

Balzano: AsQc
Engel: 8s8c

Engel needed to dodge the two over cards to stay in the game and did better than that on the 8d6s4d flop. Balzano was drawing dead on the flop and began counting out the 125,000 he needed to ship across to Engel.

Ari Engel – 290,000 (36 bb)
Paul Balzano – 210,000 (26 bb)
