Nick Putt Eliminated in 52nd Place ($20,000)

At the feature table upstairs we have just seen a massive three-way pot involving Nino Marotta, Andy Black and Nick Putt. There was concern from Black pre-flop whether or not Marotta could re-raise the all-in bet of 44,000 from Putt but it was quickly confirmed that it was allowed. Black still made the call and we then saw the flop of {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades}. Marotta made a bet of 100,000 and Black instantly folded.

Putt {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}.
Marotta {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}

Black was disgusted. That was until the {K-Spades} came on the turn though. Putt missed his outs and was eliminated

Marotta now has over 700,000 in chips.

Kirk won the main pot and side pot with a set of Aces. Kenna James was eliminated. He won $20,000 for 53rd place.

Barry Long raised to 25,000 from middle position, Dale Townsend re-raised to 60,000 and Long called. The flop was {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. Long checked, Townsend bet 15,000 and Long called. The turn was the {J-Hearts}. Long led for 50,000 and Townsend called. The river was the {2-Spades}. Long moved all in for 136,000 and Townsend called.

Long showed {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, but Townsend flopped top pair with {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, eliminating Long. After the hand, Townsend was up to 650,000.
