Hand 141: Nicholas Bamman

Button: Ira Blumenthal (seat 5) – Bamman gets a free pass in the big blind.

Hand 142: Van Marcus

Button: Van Marcus (seat 9) – Marcus bumps it up to 48,000, Bamman gets out of the way and Parise passes.

Hand 143: Brett Parise eliminates Van Marcus in 4th position ($44,940)

Button: Nicholas Bamman (seat 2) – Marcus is first to act and declares all-in. Parise makes the call in the small blind for 215,000. Blumenthal folds, Parise shows Ah Jd and Marcus has Ad 5h. The flop is 8s Jh 3h, and a 6d leaves Marcus drawing dead. The meaningless river card is a Jc. The best credentialed player at the final table, Australia’s Van Marcus, is out in fourth position.
