Alexandre Barbarabelli opened 80,000 in early position and Adam Rothschild jammed for 610,000 on the button. The blinds quickly folded and Barbarabelli made the call.
Adam Rothschild: 3♠3♣
Alexandre Barbarabelli: Q♦Q♣
Rothschild couldn't find a trey to stay in the game as the dealer ran out the K♠8♠6♠2♦8♣ board.
All of the chips went in the middle before the flop and James Frisk was at risk for about 500,000 against James Carroll.
James Frisk: Q♦Q♠
James Carroll: A♥Q♥
The A♦7♥2♦ flop gave Carroll a pair of aces to take the lead and Frisk couldn't find the last queen in the deck to stay alive as the board completed with the 7♠ turn and 5♣ river.
