Early Dinner for Macioce
Level 5
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Matthew Macioce got his stack of 85,000 in preflop against Sean Rafael.
Matthew Macioce: Q♣10♦9♦7♣ 
Sean Rafael: A♦A♣J♦4♦
The 7♦7♥2♦ flop brought Macioce trips and Rafael a flush draw. Macioce pleaded for no diamond, and while the A♥ turn did not bring one, Rafael made a full house to take a big lead.
Macioce's final out did not hit the 4♥ river, leaving him empty-handed just before the dinner break.
