Gordon Eng raised UTG+1 to 40,000, and William Cascioli called all in from middle position for 20,000. Andrew Fahey called from the small blind, and Antuan Bunkley called from the big blind.

There was 100,000 in the main pot, and another 60,000 in the side pot. Any additional betting would go to the side pot.

The flop came Ks8h5s, and Fahey bet 55,000. Bunkley and Eng both folded. Fahey took the side pot.

For the main pot, Cascioli showed QsQh, but Fahey turned over Kh4h.

“You’ve got me again,” said Cascioli.

The turn card paired the board with the 5h, the river card tripped the board with the 5d, and Fahey won the pot with a higher full house, fives full of kings, to eliminate Cascioli in ninth place.

Andrew Fahey  –  1,050,000  (53 bb)
William Cascioli  –  Eliminated in 9th Place  ($2,000)
