Pena - [3d][3s]

The board runs out [As][Jc][9h][7s][Jd] and Reilly doubles up with his pocket fives.

Pena is left with just 240,000 and is eliminated on the next hand by Reilly.

Marty Lang Eliminated in 6th Place ($10,944)

Tim Reilly limps from the small blind and Marty Lang raises to 160,000 from the big blind.  Reilly makes the call and the flop comes [As][6c][2d].

Reilly checks and Lang fires 260,000.  Reilly calls and the turn is the [7d].

Reilly checks again and Lang moves all-in, barely having Reilly covered.  Reilly thinks for a few moments before announcing a call. 

They turn up:

Reilly - [Ad][9c]
Lang - [Ah][7h]

Lang turns two pair to take a commanding lead in the hand.  However, the [9h] falls on the river, giving Reilly a better two pair and a monster double up.

Lang is left with only a few chips and would be eliminated on the next hand when his [9c][9d] could not catch up with Jose Pena's [Tc][Th].

Marty Lang is eliminated in 6th place and takes home $10,944.

Reilly mucks and Robinson puts in a five-bet to one million straight.  Pena moves all-in and Robinson calls.

They turn over:

Robinson - [4c][4d]
Pena - [Ah][Jd]

The board runs out [Td][Ts][5c][Qs][Kc] and Pena rivers Broadway to take a huge pot.

Henry Robinson is eliminated in 7th place for $8,467.

Marty Gorenc Eliminated in 8th Place ($6,653)

Dave Stefanski raises to 65,000 with the big blind at 30,000 and Marty Gorenc moves all-in for just over 500,000.  Marty Lang then moves all-in and Stefanski folds. 

They turn over:

Gorenc - [6h][6s]
Lang - [Ac][Kc]

The board runs out [Tc][Th][2d][As][3c] and Lang pairs his ace on the turn to win the pot.

Marty Gorenc is eliminated in 8th place for $6,653.
