A player in middle position raised to 5,200 and Joseph DiChiaro called on the button. The small blind moved all in for 18,700 and both players called.

There is a side pot between DiChiaro and the player in middle position as the flop came 8d6s5c. Middle position checked and DiChiaro moved all in for about 50,000.

Middle position tanked for a minute and then tossed his hand into the muck. The small blind showed QcQs and was in the lead against DiChiaro’s 9c9s.

The turn was the 7c and DiChiaro turned a straight to leave the small blind drawing dead to the river. The river was the Qd, which gave the small blind a set of queens and DiChiaro drags the pot.

The small blind is eliminated in 19th place and there was a slight pause in the action as the final 18 players re-draw for their seats at the final three tables.

All players are now guaranteed at least $607.
