James Calderaro raised under the gun, Michael Cohen called UTG+1, and Francisco Gomez called from the small blind.

The flop came 10c8h3d, and it checked to Cohen, who bet 42,000. Gomez check-raised to 170,000, and Calderaro folded. Cohen thought for a while before he called.

The turn card was the 6d, Gomez moved all in for about 560,000, and Cohen snap-called with 10h10d for a set of tens. Gomez was reluctant to turn over his cards, saying he was drawing dead, but since it was an all-in situation, he had to show. He turned over AdQh for an ace-high bluff, and he was, in fact, drawing dead.

The meaningless river card was the 5h, and Cohen won the pot to double up in chips.

Michael Cohen  –  950,000  (79 bb)
Francisco Gomez  –  318,000  (27 bb)

A short while later, Amir Tawfik ran his 10d9d into the AdKd of Thomas Boyden on a board of Jd5h3d6h3s, and Tawfik never caught up.

Boyden won the pot with ace high to pass one million in chips and eliminate Tawfik in 74th place.

Thomas Boyden  –  1,070,000  (89 bb)
Amir Tawfik  –  Eliminated in 74th Place  ($3,417)

With 72 players remaining, the average chip stack is about 484,000 (40 big blinds), and the remaining players are all guaranteed at least $3,742 each.
