Brian Alioa Eliminated in 18th Place ($8,934)

Matt Giannetti opened the pot for a raise and Matt Greenwood called from late position as did Brian Alioa from the small blind. Jonathan Tare then raises pot to 134,000 from the big blind. Giannetti makes the huge call, Greenwood folds and Alioa comes along for the ride.

The flop came {A-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} and Alioa moved all in for just 18,500. Tare came over the top for a 190,000 all in and Giannetti was forced to fold his hand.

Tare: {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {4-Clubs} for a set of aces. Alioa only turns over two of his cards, {4-Spades} {3-Hearts} saying he only has a straight draw.

The board fills out {A-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {2-Spades} giving Tare a full house and the pot. He moves to the chip lead with 580,000 while Alioa makes his exit in 18th place.

Iacofano Forces a Fold

Joe Chang opened for 18,000 from the small blind and Kevin Iacofano made the call from the big blind.

Chang checked the {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} flop over to Iacofano, who bet 30,000. Chang called and they went to the turn, the {5-Hearts}. Chang bet 86,000, but Iacofano put him to the test, moving all in for an additional 172,000. Chang ultimately folded, leaving himself with 190,000.

With that pot Iacofano is up to 380,000.
