Ray Qartomy was fourth in chips at the break, and he’s nearly doubled his stack in the past hour to reach 586,500 (147 big blinds), and Giuseppe Iadisernia is the only other player above 400K — Iadisernia has about 535,000 (134 big blinds).

1.  Ray Qartomy  –  586,500  (147 bb)
2.  Giuseppe Iadisernia  –  535,000  (134 bb)

Joey Weissman raised from middle position to 9,000, Barry Hutter called from the cutoffoff, and Daniel Aharoni moved all in from the small blind for 50,500. Weissman called, and Hutter folded.

Aharoni turned over 9s9d, but he needed to improve to stay alive against Weissman’s JdJc.

The board came Kc8d3cAc4s, and the pocket jacks held up for Weissman to win the pot and eliminate Aharoni.

Joey Weissman  –  315,000  (79 bb)
Daniel Aharoni  –  Eliminated
