Miguel Parlade

Mitchell Lekarczyk opened the action preflop and Miguel Parlade came along in the big blind to the JhTd9c flop. Parlade checked, Lekarczyk bet 450,000 and Parlade moved all in to get a call for his double or KO.

Lekarczyk: KdJd
Parlade: 9d8d

Lekarczyk was ahead with his top pair and improved to kings up on the Kc turn. Parlade had six outs on the river but blanked the 6h to exit in sixth place.

Mitchell Lekarczyk – 5,200,000 (52 bb)
Miguel Parlade – Eliminated in 6th place ($7,822)

Rick Riviello

Action folded to Rick Riviello in the small blind and he moved all in for 550,000. Mitchell Lekarczyk slow-peeled his cards, told Riviello he had a bad hand, then called with his big stack.

Lekarczyk: Jd9d
Riviello: Ad2c

Riviello was ahead but needed to dodge the live suited cards. The KcQcJs flop put Lekarczyk in front and Riviello could not come back on the 3d turn or Ks river to exit in seventh place.

Mitchell Lekarczyk – 5,100,000 (51 bb)
Rick Riviello – Eliminated in 7th place ($6,049)

Dan Kent opened the action from the button and Miguel Parlade three-bet all in from the button with his short stack. Before the 715,000 count could be complete, Kent called.

Parlade: QdQs
Kent: Ac4c

Kent had a suited ace for the knockout but Parlade barely had a worry as the board ran 8s7c6h3d4h to give him the double.

Miguel Parlade – 1,550,000 (16 bb)

Kammar Andries

They continued the blistering pace even after the final table was formed and the big money coming up.

Kammar Andries began the final table with two doubles to build his stack and Paul Shafran hit the rail in ninth place. Andries then doubled up Mitchell Kekarczyk with Ac2c against KcKd after the 8c6h3c flop to get short again.

On the next hand, it folded around to chip leader Ray Millard in the small blind and he dropped five 100K chips in the middle, enough to cover Andries.

“Let’s go!” Andries said.

Millard: QsQh
Andries: Jh7h

“Oh,” was Andries response when he saw the hands.

He was far behind and never caught a sweat as the board came 6h4d3d3cTs to send him out in eighth place.

Ray Millard – 5,200,000 (65 bb)
Kammar Andries – Eliminated in 8th place ($4,742)
Paul Shafran – Eliminated in 9th place ($3,767)
