After the betting was capped on third street, Sokoloff was all in and at risk. He was ahead going into seventh street with aces and LaMonica looked at his last card and said that Sokoloff was good.
However as is the procedure with any all in, all cards must be turned up and LaMonica didn't realize that he had made a straight and Sokoloff was eliminated.
