Matthew Carmody opened to 80,000 from middle position and was successful in picking up the blinds and antes.
From the button, Nicolas Chouity opened to 54,000 only to have Scott Sitron three-bet jam from the small blind for an additional 367,000.
Chouity deliberated for several moments before eventually kicking his cards to the muck.
Nachman Berlin opened the action with a raise to 55,000 only to have Ray Foley from two seats over in the hi-jack ship his stack all in.
Faced with an additional 379,000 to call, Berlin thought for a few moments before tossing his cards into the muck to see Foley pushed the pot
From under the gun Matthew Carmody made it 75,000 to go. Byron Kaverman flat called and Ray Foley made it 300,000 total. Action folded back to Carmody who four-bet all in and Kaverman made the call. Foley mucked his hand and we were five cards away from a possible elimination.
Carmody:
Kaverman:
The flop spelled trouble for Kaverman, as it fell , giving Carmody a set of jacks. The turn came and the river and just like that Kaverman's kings were cracked and he was sent home in 10th place.
