It was a massive pot, and there would be no surprises as the board ran out .

A member of the PokerNews Live Reporting Team saw Olivier Busquet at the airport upon arrival in the Bahamas, and it appeared the pro had the misfortune of losing his bag. Needless to say, it wasn't a good start to the trip, and neither was his recent elimination from this tournament.

It happened when action folded to Cary Katz in the small blind and he limped, prompting Busquet to check his option from the big. Katz then checked the flop and watched Busquet bet 6,000. Katz responded by moving all in and Busquet called off for 76,000 total.

Showdown
Busquet:
Katz:

Busquet was behind with middle pair, and he failed to receive help on both the turn and river. With that, Busquet exited the tournament area while Katz essentially doubled.

Cary Katz	170,000 80,000	80,000
