Event 4: Villella Takes Out Zhao

Joe Villella, Allan Zhao, and one other player got in a three-way all in before the flop.

Zhao: {a-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Villella: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Third player: {q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

"All in with bullets," Villella called to a friend.

The board ran out {10-}{8-}{5-}{j-}{5-}, leaving Villella's aces still best. Zhao was sent to the rail, while the other player had a few chips with which to work. Villella has around 50,000 now.

Blinds are currently 600-1,200 as we approach the dinner break. Out of 139 runners, around 60 remain.
