Early action saw a series of preflop raises between Matthew Zarcadoolas and TK Miles with similar stacks that went in the middle.

Miles was ahead with pocket fives against the for Zarcadoolas but the flop slammed the door pretty hard. Then it locked on the turn giving Zarcadoolas a full house, aces over jacks, to send a tough opponent out.

Miles had a great run this series, going deep in the other two multi-day tournaments.

Matthew Zarcadoolas – 231,000 (58 bb)
