Roberto Valdez of Team Evans raised to 120,000 from early position and was three-bet by Vincent Moscati of Team Moscati to 330,000, with Valdez making the call.
Both players would check the 2?4?K? flop and Valdez check-called a bet of 220,000 on the 8? turn.
Valdez checked the 6? river, Moscati bet out 580,000 and Valdez made the fold.
In another hand involving Team Valdez, Roberto Valdez raised to 175,000 from the small blind and was called by Ramon Kropmanns of Team Kropmanns in the big blind.
Valdez bet out 110,000 on a 3?4?Q? and was called by Kropmanns.
Valdez now slowed down with a check and Kropmanns put out a bet of 180,000 which was called. Both players checked the K? river and Valdez showed down 8?4? for two pair to take the pot.
In the next hand, Valdez raised to 125,000 from the button and was called by a player from Team Savakinas in the big blind.
The 4?4?9? flop checked through, as did the 2? turn. Valdez bet 220,000 on the river 6? and was called by Team Savakinas, with Valdez showing down K?9? and Team Savakinas mucking.
It was a classic cooler situation as Team Savakinas moved all-in from the small blind against the short stack of Team Kropmanns in the big blind, but Team Kropmanns woke up with a hand.
Team Kropmanns: A?A?
Team Savakinas: A?10?
The clean runout of 2?8?6?4?7? would give Team Kropmanns the full double.
Action was on a Jx10x3x flop and all chips went in the middle between a member of Team Cosgrove in middle position and a member of Team Mocasti in big blind.
Team Cosgrove: A?10?
Team Mocasti: J?3?
The turn and the river didn't change anything and Team Cosgrove was eliminated.
Another elimination for Jonah LaBranche of Team LaBranche who found themselves calling a pre-flop all-in from the big blind against the 1,000,000 chip shove from Team Perry.
Team Perry: KxKx
Team LaBranche: 5x5x
Bingo on the 5x9x2x flop for LaBranche, who would hold from there on the 3x turn and the 6x river, sending Team Perry home.
