Agostino Ragozzino just did it the hard way and the easy way.

First, he just won a hand against three other players grinding them out one at a time on each street eventually turning it into a 70,000 chip pot. Then he pulled off an quick elimination of a short stack on the next hand putting his stack up to final total of 170,000 chips (68 bb) by the time it was all said and done putting him up among the chip leaders.

37 players remain as we whittled down the field here in Day 1B.
