Over the course of three rapid-fire hands Mario Silvestri availed himself of Phil Laak's chips. A 4,500 reraise after Laak opened the pot was the first cut, in the next hand Laak called a Silvestri reraise only to lay it down after Mario bet 2,000, and on the last hand Laak moved in for his last 1,050 and as Silvestri thought it over Laak said, "C'mon, you played every hand with me, you gotta at least call."
Silvestri did call and his pocket sevens help up against Laak's to take the pot and eliminate Laak.
