Under the gun, Joseph Cada came in with a raise to 250,000, and the betting folded most of the way around the table. From the button though, Antonio Esfandiari three-bet it up to 805,000. The small blind ducked out, but James Akenhead wasn't going anywhere from the big. After some deep thought, he came over the top of both players with a healthy raise to 2,150,000. Cada quickly folded, and Esfandiari reluctantly let his cards go as well, dropping more than one third of his chip stack with that failed three-bet. He is now the shortest stack in the field with just over 1.5 million in chips.
