Ethier bet on fourth street and only Balas called.
On fifth street Ethier bet once more and Balas called.
Sixth street saw Ethier move all in and Balas called to put him at risk.
Ethier's aces up were good for the double up and he made an unneeded low on the end for good measure.
At another table, 10-time WSOP circuit winner John Holley was eliminated.
