Three Out in a Hot Minute
Sharman Olshan departed in 48th place and another two players followed right away to bring the field down to the final five tables all of a suddenn.
Daniel Lazrus was the first to run out of chips thereafter when he got a shorter stack in the middle preflop against John McDonald.
Daniel Lazrus: A♦4♣
John McDonald: Q♣J♠
The 10♣10♠3♠7♠J♥ board improved McDonald on the river.
Wesley Shi picked the same ace-rag to get his chips into the middle against Ricky Guan.
Wesley Shi: A♦4♠
Ricky Guan: J♦J♣
The pocket pair held on the K♥10♠4♦2♦6♦ runout to send Shi to the nearby payout desk, too.
Last but not least, Carlos Chadha Villamarin flipped for his last 232,000 against Russ Dunlevy.
Carlos Chadha Villamarin: 9♥9♣
Russ Dunlevy: AxJx
The J♥10♦2♦7♥8♦ board gave Chadha the straight on the river.
