David Jackson: {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Paul Balzano: {k-Hearts}{9-Spades}

The board rolled out {10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and Jackson's snowmen took down the pot, doubling through Balzano to take the lead.

Balzano Takes Commanding Lead

Level 34 : 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

The board showed {j-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} and there was around 4,000,000 in the pot. Paul Balzano bet 3,200,000 and David Jackson called.

Balzano slammed over {j-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for a boat and Jackson looked of disgust as he sent a {j-Diamonds} into the muck, shipping the pot to Balzano.

David Jackson raised to 600,000 from the cutoff. Out of the big blind James Calderaro shoved all in for 2,550,000 and he got a snap call from Jackson.

James Calderaro {k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
David Jackson {a-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

The board would not save Calderaro this time as it ran out {3-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and he was eliminated in 5th place, matching his same 5th place finish in the $2,200 High Roller on Thursday.

James Calderaro opened to 500,000 from the button and David Jackson three-bet to 1,825,000 in the big blind. Calderaro thought for well over a minute but ultimately he put in the chips to call.

The dealer fanned out {j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} on the flop and Jackson pushed in 900,000. Calderaro announced all in and before he could even push a chip Jackson called, putting in his 4,400,000 and he was the one at risk.

David Jackson: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}
James Calderaro: {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

The flop Jackson a set and Calderaro the nut-flush draw. A {4-Spades} turn gave ease to Jackson as he filled up and Calderaro was then drawing dead to the {k-Spades} river card, doubling Jackson up.

Ioannis Patsourakis Eliminated in 6th Place ($61,616)

Level 34 : 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Ioannis Patsourakis
Ioannis Patsourakis

Ioannis Patsourakis moved all in prelfop and was called by Robert Manjura who had a smaller stack. David Jackson folded after a moment of deliberation.

Patsourakis had the {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} dominating the {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} of Manjura.

The flop gave Manjura a flush draw as all diamons came off {q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. The turn brought home the nut flush when the {k-Diamonds} came off and the {3-Spades} on the river gave Manjura the pot and crippled Patsourakis's stack.

Shortly afterwards Manjura jammed from under the gun and Patsourakis called from the big blind.

Ioannis Patourakis {8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Robert Manjura {k-Spades}{q-Spades}

The flop came {2-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{5-Spades} to give Patsourakis the lead. The turn was the {10-Hearts} and the river was the {7-Spades} to flush Patsourakis out once again.
