David Hass moved all in under the gun for 805,000, and Richard Zipes called from the small blind with AhJd. Hass turned over Ac9c, and he needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came 8s8d6hQd3d, and Zipes won the pot with his jack kicker to eliminate Hass in 22nd place.

Richard Zipes  –  3,650,000  (36 bb)
David Hass  –  Eliminated in 22nd Place  ($5,443)

Rafael Reis raised UTG+1 to 250,000, Robert Georato moved all in from the cutoff for nearly 1,000,000, and Mike Beasley called all in from the small blind for 250,000. Reis tanked for a while before he folded. Beasley showed Ks9d, and he needed to improve to stay alive against Georato’s AdJc.

The board came 10c9h3s8c2h, and Beasley paired his nine on the flop to win the pot and triple up in chips.

Mike Beasley  –  955,000  (9 bb)
Robert Georato  –  720,000  (7 bb)

Georato would be eliminated in 21st place a few minutes later.

Robert Georato  –  Eliminated in 21st Place  ($5,443)
