Andrew Esposito opens to 65,000 in middle position and WPT Champions Club member Will Failla (pictured) re-jams for 385,000 in the hijack. Action folds back to Esposito and he calls.

Failla is in a coin flip for his tournament life and the runout leaves him drawing dead by the turn to land on the wrong side.

Moments later, WPT Champions Club member Brian Altman is seen standing up from an adjacent table and receiving a payout card, resulting in a pair of champions falling just short of making it through the day.

Andrew Espoito – 1,170,000 (58 bb)
Will Failla – Eliminated
Brian Altman – Eliminated
