Edgardo Rosario and Darin Thompson were both riding out short stacks compared to the other three players and would need to take a short.

Rosario was the first to go. He moved all in for 450,000 after Max Young opened to 250,000 and Young called.

Rosario was in great shape but Young flopped a king on the flop. Rosario was not happy and the turn did not change his mood. But the two-out river got a fish pump from Rosario.

“That river just cost me 17 grand,” Thompson joked about the pay jump missed.

A few hands later, Young opened to 250,000 and Thompson moved all in for 825,000. Fernando Rodriguez thought about coming along but it was Young again trying for a knockout.

It was a race and Thompson paired the flop to take the lead. The board finished with the turn and river to send Thompson his needed double.

“Don’t call it a comeback!” Thompson laugh-quoted LL Cool J after the win.

Max Young – 12,100,000 (121 bb)
Darin Thompson – 1,900,000 (19 bb)
Edgardo Rosario – 1,150,000 (12 bb)
