Andrew Peragallo
Andrew Peragallo

Andrew Peragallo was standing up from his seat and gathering his belongings as his hand of {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} was in the process of being mucked to spell the end of his tournament life.

Peragallo was on the button and had lost to Luis Rosa, who was in middle position and had the pot sent his way for his winning hand of {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs} tabled on a board of {5-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, hitting a straight to take him over 2 million.

Alex Montoya

Alex Montoya opened to 145,000 under the gun and James Chmilousky three-bet all in for 535,000 from the hijack. Action got back to Montoya and he thought for close to a minute before folding {a-Hearts}{q-Spades} face up.

"Good fold," said Chmilousky, showing {a-Spades}{k-Spades} to earn him the pot, giving him more than a 40% increase to his stack by taking down the pot without showdown.
