Quick Break

The tournament clock has been paused while the production team rearranges the table.

Of note, the four remaining players are now guaranteed to win over a million dollars each!

Ryan D'Angelo Eliminated in 5th Place ($700,000)

Hand #95 - Ty Reiman

Ryan D'Angelo has the button in Seat 2. Under the gun, Barry Shulman makes it 340,000 to go. Two seats over, Ty Reiman three-bets it up to 995,000, and the action isn't done just yet. On the button, D'Angelo waves his hands forward in that familiar all-in gesture. That's enough to fold back through Shulman, but Reiman takes pause to stare down his opponent. After just a moment, he calls with his big stack, and D'Angelo is now at risk for his last 6.75 million chips. Cards on their backs, gentlemen:

Reiman: {A-Spades} {K-Hearts}
D'Angelo: {J-Spades} {J-Hearts}

The flop is a big dry desert for the overcards as it comes out {4-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {3-Clubs}. The turn brings a few more outs for Reiman, though, as the {5-Hearts} draws loud cheers of, "Deuce! Deuuuuuce!!!" from the rail.

The river is not a deuce... but it is the {K-Diamonds}! D'Angelo reacts as if he were struck by lightning, backing away from the table slowly as he's just seen his final river card of the day.

Unable to hold his pocket jacks, Ryan D'Angelo becomes our fifth-place finisher. He'll pocket $700,000 for his efforts, but the start-of-day chip leader is clearly disappointed by the end result.

Queen High Has Negreanu and Mercier Wondering

Outside of the final-table arena, news of the call that Ryan D'Angelo made at the final table of the Main Event holding just queen high has made it out to the floor of the High Roller Event.

Daniel Negreanu and Jason Mercier were both overheard talking about the hand. They did some guessing about how the hand was played and speculated as to why it played out the way it did.

"Really weird hand," said Mercier.

Negreanu joked, "Sickest value bet of all time," in reference to how Benjamin Zamani floated the turn and then bet half-a-million on the river with just ace high.

Hand #94 - Harrison Gimbel

Ty Reiman has the button in Seat 8. Barry Shulman limps into the pot from under-the-gun. Benjamin Zamani follows suit and limps in as well. Ryan D'Angelo completes the action from the small blind and Harrison Gimbel checks his option in the big.

The flop comes down {A-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and action is checked to Zamani who fires a bet of 230,000. Gimbel is the lone caller and the two went heads-up to an {8-Spades} turn.

Gimbel checks again, allowing Zamani to fire a 560,000 turn bet. Gimbel then counts out a scary looking pile of white chips (T100,000) and puts in a raise of 1.4 million. Zamani tanks and eventually calls, opting to see the river -- {J-Hearts}.

Gimbel takes a look at Zamani's stack before tapping the table, signifying a check. Zamani then pauses before firing a bet of one million on the end. Gimbel reluctantly called, but it turned out to be the right decision as Zamani tabled {J-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for two pair. Gimbel tabled the {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a better two pair to take down the pot.
