Cory Aurentz Eliminated in 5th Place ($22,304)
Level 24
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
James Mackey opened the action with a raise to 125,000. It folded to the big blind Cory Aurentz who three-bet to 350,000. Mackey made the call.
The flop came 3♥3♦6♥ and Aurentz went all in for his stack of 955,000. Mackey confirmed the count before making the call to put Aurentz at risk.
Cory Aurentz: A♦10♦ 
James Mackey: 8♠8♥
Mackey made the correct call but would still need to fade the two over cards of Aurentz. The board ran out 4♥ on the turn and 7♥ on the river, meaning Mackey's pocket eights were still best as Aurentz was sent packing.
