Malcolm Franchi Eliminated in 6th Place ($85,561)
Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Malcolm Franchi made it 1,000,000 to play from early position, and action folded around to Antonio Vargas in the big blind, who three-bet to 2,500,000. It came back to Franchi, who moved all in and was snap-called by Vargas with the covering stack.
Malcolm Franchi: A♠5♠
Antonio Vargas: Q♣Q♦
A sweat for both on the 3♥Q♠10♠ flop, with Vargas going further into the lead but Franchi still having plenty of outs.
None were forthcoming on the 5♥ turn nor the A♣ river, and Franchi was sent to the rail in sixth place.
