James Carroll Eliminated in 24th Place ($42,851)
The action started with a cutoff raise to 150,000 by David Benyamine and Mandy Calara called on the button. James Carroll then potted to 625,000 in the big blind and Benyamine reraised the pot to 2,125,000. Calara eventually called all-in for 1,110,000 and Carroll gave it some thought before he called all-in for another 950,000 behind to be the second-biggest stack in the showdown.
Mandy Calara: Q?J?9?8? 
James Carroll: A?K?Q?Q?
David Benyamine: A?A?10?3?
The biggest stack remained ahead on the 10?6?3? flop while Calara had a gutshot. Nothing changed with the 5? turn but the 7? river completed an unlikely straight for Calara, as he tripled up.
For Carroll, the worst-case scenario unfolded as he lost the side pot as well and was eliminated on the pay jump for $42,851.
