After a back-and-forth raising war, Carl Carodenuto got about 1,650,000 in preflop against David Lappano. Lappano snap called and flipped over AdKd. Carodenuto was in trouble with AcQd.

The board didn’t do a thing except strengthen Lappano’s hand when it fell Th9d2d3h8d giving him a flush. Carodenuto, stunned, busted 7th earning $25,821. Lappano, meanwhile, took the chip lead.

For Carodenuto, this marked his second deep run of December. Less than two weeks ago, he won an MSPT Main Event at Canterbury Park for $116,103.

David Lappano – 5,600,000
Carl Carodenuto – Eliminated 7th ($25,821)
