Tony Ruberto opened the pot with a raise to 29,000 and Craig Hartman moved all in for 121,000. From the button, Justin Ligeri called, and when the action returned to Ruberto, he moved all in for roughly 250,000 and Ligeri called.

Ligeri: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Ruberto: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Hartman: {K-Diamonds}{J-Spades}

The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and Ligeri rivered a straight to eliminate two players.

Hartman used his final add-on plaque, while Ruberto exited the tournament area.

"I'm writing a f**king book on this game!" announced Ligeri as he raked in the pot.

Katz Ships on Two

Level 6 : 0/0, 4,000 ante

Brandon Adams raised in the cutoff for 15,000 and got callers in Jason Koon on the button and Cary Katz in early position. The flop came {7-Spades}{a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} and Katz shoved all in. It was 78,000. Adams quickly folded. Koon thought a bit and followed him, saying he had a flush draw and a backdoor straight draw.

Ligeri and Eldridge Rolling With the Jack-Ten

Level 5 : 0/0, 3,000 ante

Three players called to Justin Young's cutoff, and he bet 36,000. Justin Ligeri announced all in from the button and David Eldridge, the first caller, obliged for about 300,000. The others folded, including Young, who flashed either {a-}{k-} or {a-}{q-}.

Eldridge: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Ligeri: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

They both had jack-ten suited and chopped on the {8-Spades}{a-Hearts}{10-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{j-Spades} board.
