Jeffrey Roth shoved some 300,000 and Battaglia came over the top all in with sevens. Roth had jacks and they held up to give him the double and leave Battaglia short heading into a break.
Local legend David Battaglia, who makes pretty much every final table here these days, is on a tear in this one.
He's moved from the middle of the pack to a spot near the top over the past 30 minutes. Plus, he's been able to do so without having to show very much of anything.
Battaglia typically plays ABC poker, so either he's getting hit by the deck right now, or he's making a change in an effort to run even deeper than usual. Either way, Battaglia is in serious contention now.
Ted Blaszczak pushed all in for 320,000 total over an Anthony Koch open.
Koch called with sevens, but Blaszczak had two kings. The kings held to give Blaszczak the double.
A minute later, Chris Harker shoved 500,000 over a Jeff Roth open and Koch called with jacks. Roth folded and Harker's tournament life was riding on the .
Harker spiked a queen on the flop and with that double, Koch was suddenly short. He ran fours into David Battaglia's aces for the last of his stack immediately following, taking 10th for $1,360.
