Level 27 . Ante 80k . Blinds 40k.80k . Entries 18.1879

Cord Garcia opens to 200,000 in the hijack and Eric Chang three-bets to 480,000 in the cutoff. Christopher Laieta cold four-bets to 1.1 million on the button and Julian Gaines calls all in for 495,000 in the small blind. Garcia and Chang get out of the way, while the other two table their holdings.

Gaines: Ace of heartsJack of hearts
Laieta: Ace of spades7 of spades

Gaines is elated to see his ace-jack in such great shape, but the table’s reaction does a full 180 after Laieta flops the world on 9 of spades8 of spades5 of diamonds. He completes both draws on running 6 of clubs3 of spades, finishing with the nuts to eliminate Gaines from the tournament.

“Sick cold four(-bet) spot, huh?” says Garcia to Laieta. He wishes Gaines a good game, adding, “at least you lost against the nuts.”

With the elimination of Gaines, we are now down to 18 players and have reached the final two tables of the tournament. Play will continue until we make the final table of nine.

Christopher Laieta – 5,600,000
Julian Gaines – Eliminated in 19th Place ($10,210)
