Kenneth Aldridge was the bring in before Ryan Hughes completed. Jeff Lisandro called as did Chad Brown. On fourth street, play checked to Hughes who moved all in for his last 14,000.
Lisandro then called the floor and asked for a ruling as to who would receive what place if both players were eliminated on the same hand. Once he learnt that it comes down to chip counts at the start of the hand, Lisandro made the call. Brown and Aldridge also made the call.
On fifth street Lisandro led out with a bet with both live players calling, before his last chips were in on sixth against Aldridge as Brown stepped aside.

When all was said and done, Aldridge's two pair weren't enough to challenge Lisandro's straight as he took both the high and the low in the side pot. Hughes had a river squeeze to try and fill up but it wasn't to be as Lisandro scooped the lot as he gave a double fist pump to his rail.
Hughes is eliminated in 9th place for a collect of $22,849. The players are now taking a quick break before the "official" final table commences.
