We caught up with Banzi as he was walking toward the exit. He was among the bigger stacks for much of the day, but lost everything when he got all in with pocket kings vs. pocket aces and couldn't improve.
Also eliminated from the tournament were T.J. Cloutier and Maridu Mayrinck.
Phil Hellmuth called an opponent's all-in bet on the turn holding with the board showing . His opponent produced a pocket pair of queens which was good for top set, leaving Phil drawing to a non-board-pairing heart to stay alive. The river blanked and Phil walked not-so-quietly away from the table, muttering several comments under his breath as onlookers enjoyed the show.
