After the player in seat 6 moved his short-stack all-in, Joshua Supsak called him down with A9. Seat 6 held KT and would need help to survive. It didn't come as the board ran out A 8 6 6 Q. Another player hit the rail and Joshua chipped up to over 1.6 million.
Joshua Supsak
His lead did not last long, however. Joshua raised to 50k (utg+1) and Alex Rocha (S Setauket, NY) kicked it on up to 100k on his left. Action folded back around to Joshua, who announced he was all-in. Alex called all-in and was ahead with AK suited. Joshua's AQ offsuit was in bad shape. The board came 9 7 5 5 3 and Alex doubled up ~1.2 million. Joshua was busted down to ~1.1 million.
73 players remain.
In a huge three-way pot, Steven Macchia (Woodridge, NJ) rivered a set of 9s to bust one player and cripple another. Steven tripled to 1.7 million, good for the chip lead.
72 players remain.
Alfie Natale (Philadelphia, PA) got his last ~80k in with pocket Jacks, only to run into pocket Queens in the big blind. It looked like Alfie was headed for a 72nd place finish, but the board came 6 6 5 J T and Alfie caught the two-outer on the turn to double up.
