: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Richard Rossetti moved all in for 810,000 in the hijack ,Michael Assante reshoved in the cutoff, and the rest of the table got out of the way.
Richard Rossetti: A♥J♥
Michael Assante: A♦10♦
The Q♠2♠4♠5♥K♠ flop improved neither player, and Rossetti's jack-kicker continued to play to earn him the double up.
The next hand at this table, Anton Saich got in the rest of his short stack from the button and was up against Robert Hwang in the big blind.
Anton Saich: A♣J♣
Robert Hwang: 8♦8♠
Saich was flipping for his tournament life, but Hwang spiked a set on the Q♥7♥8♣ flop to take a big lead. The 4♣ turn gave Saich additional outs with his flush draw, but he missed the 5♦ and was sent to the rail.
