Maximiliano Castagnini opened to 240,000 from the cutoff. Michel Molenaar on the button three-bet all in for 1,505,000, then Matthew Belcher in the big blind jammed with a bigger stack. Castagnini folded.
Michel Molenaar: 2♦2♥ 
Matthew Belcher: J♠J♥

Left with 445,000, Belcher was eliminated a few hands later.
