Michael Lavin raised to 16,000 from late position to see Robert Elias call in the cutoff. Matthew Beinner moved all in from the button, Victor Ramdin called in the small blind to see Matt Glantz move all in for 363,000 in the big blind. Lavin jammed with the covering stack against everyone and both Ramdin and Lavin folded.
Matthew Beinner: A♣J♣
Matt Glantz: A♦K♥
Michael Lavin: A♥J♥
The board ran out Q♠9♥5♠4♣K♠ and the ace-king held up for Glantz to more than double up while eliminating Beinner.

Leading the way of the field is tournament regular Victor Ramdin (551,000). With over $5 million in recorded lifetime earnings, Ramdin is no stranger to the highs and lows of tournament poker. A victory here at Borgata has yet to be won by him and his stack here today puts him in prime position to collect a title.
