Steve Cantatore was all in for 631,000 and was called by Arthur Gates.
Gates has been on fire and this hand was no different as he tabled pocket jacks. Cantatore rolled his eyes and prepared to hit the rail, but to his surprise he flopped an eight. The river was the case eight for good measure and he doubled through the overwhelming chip leader.

Bob Markek
Bob Markek shoved from the cutoff for 400,000 and Marcy Jo Phillips was in the big blind with a decision.
She put her head in her hands while she thought about it and eventually called.
Markek tabled pocket aces while Phillips held pocket tens.
The flop was safe for Markek, who was the player at risk, but the ten on the turn was the dagger that sent him packing in fourth place for $2,120.
