On a Ts9c4s flop, action checked to the player on the button, who bet 3,700. Bill Gazes check-raised all in for 15,900, and Dantonio Brown called from early position. The button re-shoved for a small remainder on top, and Brown called again to put both opponents at risk.

Gazes: QcJh (open-ended straight draw)
Brown: QsTh (pair of tens)
Button: Ks7s (flush draw)

The turn 7c and river 4d were both blanks, and Brown earned the double knockout.

Two hands later, action folded to the small blind where Ryan D’Angelo moved all in for 12,400 with Kd4h. Brown called from the big blind with QcJs, and the KsTh9c flop immediately gave him a straight. D’Angelo was drawing dead after the 3h turn, and the river 4s filled out the board to end his day just before the last break.

“Lucky masseuse,” Brown said as he stacked up another pot.

Dantonio Brown – 220,000 (138 bb)
Bill Gazes – Eliminated
Ryan D’Angelo – Eliminated
