John DePersio was staying active.

“I’m the only one trying to knock people out,” he joked.

Soon after he eliminated Haim Toorgeman, Nagui Yassa put his 313,000 in the middle and DePersio called with a chance for another knockout. His 9h9d was in trouble against QsQd and the Jh5d3d5sQc board sent a double to his neighbor.

A few hands later, Rodney Moret-Rojas open-shoved for 263,000 and DePersio called from the small blind.

Moret-Rojas: Ah7h
DePersio: QhQc

DePersio found another big hand but Moret-Rojas hit the AdTh4d flop. The 9h turn and 6h river finished the board for Moret-Rojas’ double.

Nagui Yassa – 675,000 (34 bb)
Rodney Moret-Rojas – 550,000 (28 bb)
John DePersio – 1,210,000 (61 bb)
