Hand #23: Steven Brackesy Eliminated in 4th Place ($129,816)

Steven Brackesy raises from the small blind to 43,000, Daniel Santoro reraises from the big blind to 110,000, and Brackesy four-bets it to 243,000. Santoro thinks for more than a minute before he reraises to 440,000.

Brackesy moves all in, and Santoro calls with [QhQs]. Brackesy turns over [Ac4c], and he’ll need to improve to stay alive.

The board comes [9c9h5s2c6h], and the pocket queens hold up for Daniel Santoro to win the pot and eliminate Steven Brackesy in fourth place.
