Schwartz:
Engel:

It was another race and one that Engel won after the board ran . The dealer counted down the two stack and Engel’s 328,000 had Schwartz covered by a few chips.

It was a huge pot that sent Engel far into the lead.

Ari Engel – 660,000 (66 bb)
Ira Schwartz – Eliminated in 6th place ($3,552)

Ari Engel opened to 18,000 and picked up calls from Brandon Miller and Tony Ruberto. Paul Balzano moved all in from the small blind for ~325,000 and Engel went into a short tank. He called all in for less followed by Miller and Ruberto releasing their hands.

Balzano:
Engel:

Engel needed to dodge the two over cards to stay in the game and did better than that on the flop. Balzano was drawing dead on the flop and began counting out the 125,000 he needed to ship across to Engel.

Ari Engel – 290,000 (36 bb)
Paul Balzano – 210,000 (26 bb)
