The action folded to Markus Prinz in the small blind who shoved all in for 158 million with {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and Darryll Fish instantly called when he looked down at the {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} in the big blind.

The flop fell {9-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Diamonds} which still favored Fish with the pocket jacks. The turn was the {8-Diamonds} and Prinz was left drawing to just an ace. The dealer burned and turned the {2-Diamonds} on the river and Prinz was sent to the rail in fourth place.

Markus Prinz limped in from under the gun with {k-Spades}{q-Hearts} and Charles La Boissonniere shipped all in for 147 million in the cutoff holding {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. Anthony Ruberto re-shipped all in from the big blind with {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and Prinz laid his hand down.

The flop fell {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and La Boissonniere picked up a straight draw to go with his one overcard. The turn brought the {9-Clubs} which changed nothing and the {3-Diamonds} on the river was no help either. Ruberto's pocket tens held on to eliminate La Boissonniere in fifth place.
