After winning a small pot against chip leader Tyler Groth, Allan Le took on Darren Taylor and called the raise to 90,000 by the Northern Irishman when sitting in the big blind.
The flop fell 
, and both players checked. Le also checked the 
turn, and Taylor bet 115,000. Le asked for the stack size of Taylor, who had around 550,000 behind, and check-raised the pot to see Taylor call all in.
Darren Taylor: 
Allan Le: 
The rail of Taylor fell silent, as their countryman was already drawing dead with Le holding the last jack in the deck in his hand. The meaningless 
on the river completed the board, and Taylor was eliminated in fourth place for $56,224.
The remaining three players will be heading into the dinner break shortly and have $78,372 locked up apiece.

Tyler Groth started gaining the ground, slowly conquering mediocre pots, increasing his lead. But a few moments ago, his chip stack increased very significantly as he scored a knockout, eliminating Igor Sharaskin in fifth place.
Allan Le started the hand with a cutoff raise to 85,000. Groth called on the button, inviting big blind Sharaskin to the flop.
Sharaskin led big on the 
flop, pushing 150,000 towards the middle. Le folded, but Groth matched the bid.
They saw the 
hit the felt, and Sharaskin paused for a moment before declaring all in for his remaining 430,000. Groth snap-called.
Igor Sharaskin: 
Tyler Groth: 
Sharaskin had a big draw, but his chances were nullified when Groth exposed his full house, eights full of fours. Sharaskin stated what had become evident: "I'm drawing dead," before shaking hands with the remaining players. The 
river had no meaning, as the Russian player already knew his fate at that point.
Following his third-place run in the $565 Pot-Limit Omaha Event, Sharaskin added another top-five finish to his name. He was rewarded with $40,862 today.
Meanwhile, Groth has now maneuvering more than a half of all chips in play as he soars over 3,000,000.

flop, Taylor bet 40,000, and Sharaskin called before the fell on the turn. Taylor checked and folded to Sharaskin's bet of 120,000.
Tyler Groth raised to 100,000 in the cutoff, and Taylor called from one seat over on the button. The flop of

Taylor eventually folded and said, "Show the bluff!" Groth peeked at his four hole cards and obliged, flashing before raking in the pot.

One of only a few three-way pots emerged when Darren Taylor opened the cutoff to 90,000, earning attention from both Jonathan Zarin and Allan Le, who paid the price from the blinds.
Taylor continued with a half-pot-sized bet — 135,000 — after the 
had landed on the felt. Only Le decided to stick around.
Le's flat evolved into a tricky play as the 
turn saw a change of the events. Le led out for the 110,000. Taylor laid his hand down but solicited for a showdown.
"Can't show, no bluff," was the answer.

After the elimination of Adam Brown in sixth, Jonathan Zarin joked, "Does anybody have more than me?" knowing he was the shortest stack. But he's climbing back. Shortly after doubling through Allan Le, Zarin found another stack at which to take aim: Darren Taylor's.
Taylor min-raised from the button, and Zarin three-bet, announcing, "Pot," to make it 280,000. Taylor had some serious troubles figuring what to do, counting his own stack and contemplating about his decision. He eventually called.
The flop 
brought the expected action. Zarin moved all in for 170,000, and Taylor quickly called. "I've got seven," Zarin said, likely feeling he was ahead after making trips with his dangler .
Jonathan Zarin: 
Darren Taylor: 
Zarin indeed was ahead, and the on the turn provided him with the best possible service. "Kings full," Zarin announced, ensured he was about to double. Nothing could change the outcome of the hand anymore, but the dealer did the required formality and turned over the river.
