“And then there were three.” Jean Gaspard would say, as Mark Wiliczek would be eliminated on the first hand after the break, when he could not find a double up in a Stud High hand.
The action was picked up with Mark moving all-in with three cards to come, one of which would give him a pair of Aces, which looked like enough to win the pot as Kenneth Aldridge was showing a pair of fives.
Aldridge would get dealt his final card face down, turning over the {7c} matching the {7h} that was face up, giving him two pair.
Mark would roll his eyes and peel his final card, hoping to find a match within this que of cards as well.
He would not as the meaningless {10c} meant he was being eliminated in 4th place, for just over $3,000.
Aldridge increased his stack to close to 450,000 and the focus will now be on the shortest stack remaining Behrooz Shahrzad, who is near 100,000.
