Bill Criego Eliminated in 4th Place ($66,644)

Bill Criego three-bet his very first hand after losing with pocket kings and was able to take it down. He showed {a-}{7-}.

Two hands later, he was in the big blind facing an opening raise to 180,000 from Kevin Calenzo, who had been first to act. Criego opted to reraise to 280,000 before Calenzo moved all in.

That's when things got... different.

While Criego thought about his decision. He and Calenzo happened to be drinking water at the same time so they tapped bottles and took a swig. Sean Getzwiller and Ian Mack must have felt left out because it wasn't two seconds later that all four remaining players did a "cheers" over the table.

"Wow, that was g**," Calenzo commented.

All jokes aside, it has been a very friendly table today from start to finish. People have been consistently showing hands, laughing during pots and talking to each other in between hands or when not involved in a pot. For right now, Calenzo seems to be playing table captain and that won't likely change after this hand.

Criego eventually did make the call and was displeased to see Calenzo table {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}. Criego held {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and was in a lot of trouble. The board ran out {3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and Criego was sent to the rail.

Just like that we are down the three players.
