Giacomo Jack D'Agostino Eliminated

George Guzman pushed the last of his chips into the middle in the dark, and a big pot developed with Giacomo Jack D'Agostino, also all in against Harold Heckethorn.

Heckethorn: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Guzman: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
D'Agostino: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

The board ran out {6-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{J-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and Guzman made a straight to remarkably triple up to 25,000 as D'Agostino was eliminated after losing the side pot to Heckethorn.

Into the Wee Hours of the Morning

It's now around two in the morning and the scene is about what you would expect at this time. The remaining three tables are off to the side with only a few media people, a couple of floor staff, and a few scattered railbirds. The noise level is at its lowest of the day. You can hear the clatter of chips from the players and even the cash game announcements from across the room. Things are winding down all over, but we will be here to bring you all the action as 16 more players need to be eliminated before we call it a day.
