Jim Boone opened for 1,500 in early position, and Paul Bianchi shoved his last 3,500 in from middle position. Mike Holm, who recently reentered the tournament, made the call on the button, and Boone called as well. The two active players checked down the {8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{k-Hearts}{6-Spades} board, and Boone showed {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. Bianchi had it beat with {7-}{7-}, and Holm announced that he had "nothing."

Bianchi had a fascinating run in the Main Event this summer after he and his friends put him on red eye after last minute blackjack session before the final Day 1. You can hear about his story in an interview with PokerNews.
