Vinny Censabella

There was an early-position raise to 28,000 and Vinny Censabella called from late position as did Joseph Skarzynski on the button. It was on massive start-of-day chip leader, Fernando Rodriguez, who’d sputtered as of late to claim a mortal stack. Rodriguez shoved the small blind for 373,000 total and it was back on the original raiser.

He folded after a minute or two leaving it up to Censabella who called without hesitation. Skarzynski got out of the way and it was a clash between the current and former chip leader.

Rodriguez: Ah3h

Rodriguez was caught with ace-high and improving to a pair of threes wasn’t enough. He was eliminated by Censabella in 34th after beginning the day with more than 1,000,000 chips — twice that of second place.

Censabella stacked a massive pot and took the chip lead as players went on their second break.
