Lunique Petiote

Previous chip leader Lunique Petiote let a pile of his chips go between tablemates Michael McCarthy, Rob Manjura and James Peterson. Down to just a couple hundred thousand, it was McCarthy who got the last of them.

Petiote was eliminated in 19th place moments ago leaving the field at 18 and the final two tables.

Jason Goldman

Brett Bader raised to 40,000 from the cutoff and Richard Carr called from the button. It was on Jason Goldman in the big blind and he jammed roughly 320,000. Bader folded while Carr called quickly.

Carr: 5s5c
Goldman: Ah8h

Runout: 8d5d4sAcJd

Carr flopped a set while Goldman hit a pair. Goldman improved to two pair on the turn and gained some river outs, but it wasn’t meant to be. Carr’s set was best and Goldman was eliminated in 22nd place.

Richard Carr – 1,205,000
Jason Goldman – Eliminated in 22nd place ($7,016)

Brandon Caputo

Brandon Caputo began the day as the overwhelming chip leader claiming 796,000. The next closes stack of 558,000 belonged to Michael Collins (who busted short of the money).

Caputo’s early advantage wore thin and he recently bowed out in 25th just after the dinner break.

Main Event: Aces Versus Aces; James Peterson and Mirza Nagji

Player Remaining: 26 of 609

James Peterson and Mirza Nagji recently got all of Peterson’s 1,250,000 chips in the middle preflop in what was the largest pot of the tournament thus far. Nagji — who owned about 1,550,000 chips — was poised to take a huge one. Unfortunately, the pair turned over the same pair — aces.

James Peterson (Seat 7) and Mirza Nagji (Seat 8) stand for the runout. Michael McCarthy (Seat 5) leaves in disgust.

A no-flush runout left for a friendly chop. On the sidelines disappointed, though, was Michael McCarthy. The preflop back and forth scared off his queens. You guessed it, a queen fell on the runout.

Mirza Nagji – 1,575,000
James Peterson – 1,295,000
