Gina Cannone got her last chips in with A4 suited, only to get looked up by Anthony Colombo, who had her dominated with AQ. Then the board came 8 4 2 6 5 and Gina paired her kicker to double up. She's up to ~600k.
Paul Spitzberg (Tenafly, NJ) moved his last 260k in from the button and got called by both Eric Hall (Staten Island, NY) in the small blind and Ed McCarthy (Souderton, PA) in the big. On the flop of T 7 6, Eric tossed in his last ~45k and Ed called.
Eric Hall
Ed was out in front with pocket Jacks. Eric held AT suited for a pair of Tens. Paul was trailing with KQ (two overcards). The turn was a 7 and changed nothing. It looked like Ed was headed for a double-elimination, but then the ubiquitous Ace on the river gave Eric the win and the pot. He chipped up to about 1 million. Paul busted in 54th place, earning $1,999.
53 players remain at six tables.
