Robert Georato opened to 150,000 from the hijack and picked up calls from Caleb Powell on the button and Thao Le in the small blind. Dan Johnson moved all in from the big blind for 825,000 and Georato ripped in with his big stack. Powell thought for a quick second, flashed to his neighbors before he folded along with Le.

Georato:
Johnson:

The dealer put a queen in the window to get a jump out of Powell but it was followed by a six to get Georato a set. The final board was and Johnson was eliminated.

We missed the action but saw the result when most of Table 11 stood up from their seats. It was a huge three-way pot with David Howard all in for 980,000 from the big blind, Caleb Powell at risk from early position for 615,000 and Steven Sinclair had them both covered.

Powell:
Sinclair:
Howard:

Sinclair could take both out with a miracle queen but Powell made a set on the flop then the turn left the queens and jacks drawing dead to the river. Powell tripled up, Howard was eliminated, and Sinclair picked up a small rebate with his queens.

Caleb Powell – 1,895,000 (38 bb)
Steven Sinclair – 1,295,000 (26 bb)
David Howard – Eliminated in 33rd Place ($2,110)
