This one could turn out to be a really key hand.

Hand #25 - Nick Schulman has the button in seat 2, and Berman moves all in for $575,000, and Schulman quickly calls. Now Licastro goes into the tank in the big blind, and he studies the situation for several minutes before folding. Berman shows Ah-Jc, but he's dominated by Schulman's Ac-Kd. Berman needs to improve here to stay alive.
The flop comes Qc-6s-2s, and Berman is in trouble, needing to catch a jack or a runner-runner straight to survive. The turn card is a blank (they didn't show it or announce it), and the river card is a 9. Lyle Berman is eliminated in fifth place, earning $345,000.
1. Nick Schulman - $4,200,000 (seat 2)
2. Tony Licastro - $1,300,000 (seat 3)
3. Allen Cunningham - $1,200,000 (seat 5)
4. Bill Gazes - $850,000 (seat 6)
If Licastro was just showboating, nevermind. But, if he was really thinking, I figure there's a decent chance he had a pair, or maybe AQ. If he decides to go all-in with either of those hands, he wins this hand and has something like a 3.2M to 2.3M chip advantage over Nick w/ a couple of guys within striking range at around 1M. Instead, he folds, and Nick takes a commanding lead, far ahead of the other three.
Will be interesting to find out what Licastro had.
