Sonny Franco Eliminated in 10th Place ($79,276)
With two players seeing a board of 10?6?9?3? and about 900,000 in the middle, Sonny Franco bet 350,000 from the big blind and Manh Nguyen called from early position.
Franco bet another 350,000 on the 4? river and was once again called by Nguyen. Franco tabled A?8?6?4? for two pair but Nguyen turned over 5?4?3?2? for a straight to take the pot, leaving Franco with 600,000 behind.
Two hands later, Franco opened to 350,000 from the button and was called by Nguyen in the small blind and Mandy Calara in the big blind.
The flop came A?10?9?. Nguyen bet 200,000, Calara called and Franco folded, leaving just 150,000 behind. The two remaining players checked through the A? turn leading to the 7? river where Nguyen check-folded to a 400,000 bet from Calara.
Franco moved in for his last 150,000 from the cutoff in the next hand and was called by Nguyen on the button, Calara in the small blind and Oshri Lahmani in the big blind.
All players checked through the flop, turn and river leading to a final board of A?K?K?6?8?.
Franco had Q?9?8?6? for a small two pair. Nguyen tabled A?J?10?3? for aces up and took the pot while Franco was sent to the rail one spot shy of making the unofficial final table.
