Barer Eliminated by Mendoza
The action on the previous feature table saw many smaller pots after the dinner break before Nevan Chang three-bet jammed his shorter stack to force out initial raiser Marius Gierse.
Taylor Black then opened to 5,500 and Gierse three-bet to 15,000 only for Black to go over the top and force a fold.
Ami Barer was the next to raise and made it 5,500 to go from the cutoff. James Mendoza three-bet to 15,500 from the big blind and instantly called when Barer jammed for 67,000.
Ami Barer: 9♥9♣ 
James Mendoza: Q♥Q♣
The A♠Q♦J♦ flop left Barer on the ropes and he let out an "aiyaaaa" while Gierse had a very dry "boring" as response. No miracle came with the 7♥ turn and 2♣ river to send Barer to the rail.
In the meanwhile, Gavin joined the outer table to bring the field up to 20 entries.
