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.
