There was a three-way all in between Mark Smith, who was all in for about 70,000 from the cutoff, Scott Clements in the cutoff, and Gerald Aiello in the small blind, who was all in for 134,000.

Smith showed AhKh, Aiello showed QhQs, and Clements had both players covered with his KdKs.

The flop was Qd9d5d, which put Aiello in the lead with a set of queens, but Clements was still drawing live with a flush draw. Smith was drawing very thin.

The turn was the 7c and the river was the 6c to give Aiello both the main pot and the side pot. Smith took home $6,150 for his 37th place finish, and Clements took a hit to his stack.

Gerald Aiello – 310,000 (39 bb)
