Carlos Chadha moved all in from the button and Mark Castaldo called for 59,000 in the big blind.

Mark Castaldo: 4♦4♣ All in
Carlos Chadha: A♦3♥

Chadha hit a pair on the 6♦J♣3♠ flop, but he improved no further on the 6♥ turn or 9♣ river as Castaldo stayed in the lead with his fours to earn the double up.

Dennis Backhaus was recently eliminated by Anthony Luong. "Didn't work. Tens against sevens, he hit a seven. Game over," Backhaus said on his way to the rail.
