Marcelo Tadeu Aziz Junior opened the hijack and was three-bet by Lucas Reeves in the small blind to 80,000. Junior then four-bet to 195,000 before Reeves five-bet to 380,000. The action wasn't over yet as a six-bet came in from Junior to 565,000, then Reeves seven-bet shoved for around 950,000 total. Junior quickly called.
Lucas Reeves: K♥K♦ 
Marcelo Tadeu Aziz Junior: A♠A♣
As the camera crews and media team arrived to the table, the dealer was given permission to run the board.
Reeves was looking for a king to survive but the runout of 6♥7♣J♣Q♦4♦ meant he was eliminated on the bubble.
There were five more all-in-and-calls throughout the Horseshoe but one stood out as another player was eliminated.
Terrance Reid opened to 16,000 from middle position and Christian Stratmeyer shoved for 57,000 out of the small blind. Once the big blind folded, Reid made the call which put Stratmeyer at risk.
Christian Stratmeyer: A♣K♦
Terence Reid: 8♣3♣
Reid certainly had the stack to make the call and it paid off as he flopped trips on the 8♥6♣8♠ board which left Stratmeyer needing a miracle to survive.
The 2♣ on the turn sealed the pot for Reid, with a meaningless 9♣ river confirming the elimination of Stratmeyer.
As both Reeves and Stratmeyer were eliminated during the same hand, they split a min-cash and will receive $7,500 each for their efforts.
