After doubling up Ben Zamani, Ari Engel was down to only six big blinds and put them in the middle against Giuseppe Pantale with 3d3c.

The eight-time WSOP Circuit winner needed to dodge Pantaleo’s AhJd but he fell behind on the KcJh9c flop. The Ts turn left Engel with two outs, neither of which came on the 5s river.
