Paul Balzano was in danger from the start of play and took his shot just a few hands into action.

He three-bet shoved for 750,000 after an open from Salomon Ponte and was coin flipping to stay in the game.

Balzano: 6d6h
Ponte: Ad9d

Balzano needed to dodge the overs but Ponte hit right on the As7s2c flop. He was drawing thin and missed the 3d turn and Qc river to go out in 9th place for $27,390.
