In the fourth hand of the day, Matthew Gonzales raised to 150,000 under the gun, leaving himself with just 5,000 behind. The action folded to Nick Petrangelo in the small blind who contemplated his action for a bit before eventually folding.
Big blind Ben Heath put in a bunch of chips to get Gonzales to commit his last 5,000-chip as well. Gonzales joked by tossing in a time bank card first but grabbed it back and quickly called right after.

The flop came , pairing up Gonzales.
"Oh baby doll!" Gonzales said to the dealer.
While the flop was good for him, the on the turn left him drawing to just a few outs. The completed the board and Gonzales said his goodbyes.
Gonzales out in twelfth place, good for $101,604. The next to go out gets that very same amount.
Despite winning the hand, Heath is still slightly down for the day after losing a small pot to Nick Petrangelo in the third hand of play.
Sam Soverel kicked things off with a raise to 125,000 from under the gun. Cary Katz three-bet to 400,000 on his left and the action folded back to Soverel.
He thought for a moment and then announced all in for 1,820,000. Katz used up his allotted 30 seconds but decided to lay his hand down.
Just twelve players remain in Event #5: 50th Annual High Roller - $50,000 No-Limit Hold'em with two more days to play. The plan for today is to play down from twelve to six, which leaves a 6-handed final table for tomorrow's PokerGO live stream.
Leading the charge is British professional player Ben Heath. With over $3 million in live tournament earnings, Heath is anything but a newcomer to the world of high stakes poker. But that coveted gold bracelet is still missing from his poker resume, so it's not just the $1,484,085 for first place that he's eyeing.
Eleven players stand in his way, all just as eager for the trophy. PokerGO owner Cary Katz, talkative Brit Sam Grafton, philanthropist David Einhorn, German high roller Manig Loeser, and short stack Matthew Gonzales are all looking for their first bracelet as well. The rest of the pack, Sam Soverel, Andrew Lichtenberger, Elio Fox, Dmitry Yurasov, Chance Kornuth, and Nick Petrangelo all have WSOP jewelry already, but probably wouldn't mind one extra.
