Calderaro and Kaverman Fall
Level 19
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
James Calderaro was just eliminated from the tournament in an all-in preflop situation in which Jake Ferro opened in middle position to 27,000 and Calderaro three-bet in the cutoff. Ferro came over the top for Calderaro's effective stack of about 350,000 and Calderaro called it off.
"I hope you have ace-king" said Calderaro as he tabled 
. Ferro showed 
and a queen-high runout kept it best to eliminate Calderaro in 24th place. By the time he made his way to the payout desk, the previously short-stacked Byron Kaverman had joined him. The two exchanged fist bumps as they were paid $6,803 apiece and 22 players now remain.
