Entries: 101

James Calderaro raised to 9,000 from under the gun, Danny Shiff called from the button, Tom Chae three-bet shoved from the small blind for 87,500, Calderaro called, and Shiff folded 7s7c face up.

Chae: AcJc

The window card in the flop was the As to pair Chae, but it was followed by the Js and 5c to give Calderaro a set of jacks. The 8s turn and 10s completed the board, safe for Calderaro to score the elimination.

James Calderaro – 215,000 (53 bb)
