Nadir Lalji had a strong showing this afternoon. But his run came to an end in fourth place, earning him $540 for his efforts.
Following Lalji’s elimination, a three-way battle between Robert Mitchell, Kristi Newman and Alexandre Labonte ensued. These three players put some determined poker on display, as they managed their chips carefully. Labonte was able to chip up from one big blind to a stack of over 300k before the cards turned against him. Labonte was sent to the rail after having his aces cracked and then running into aces with a pocket pair of his own. Labonte will take home $710 for his third place finish.
Play continues heads up between Kristi Newman and Robert Mitchell.
