1st Place: She Lok Wong ($95,000)
.JPG) |
| From L-R: Sam Haddad (2nd), She Lok Wong (1st), Mazen Nesheiwat (3rd) |
Sam Haddad will take 2nd place for $92,434, and Mazen Nesheiwat will take 3rd for $84,125.
Congratulations to all of the winners!
4th Place: Aaron Smith ($43,844)
 |
| Aaron reacts to the river card being dealt |
It was a cooler as Aaron held [As][Ac] to Sam's [Ks][Kc]. Aaron was in great shape to double up as the flop fell [6d][Ts][8d]. The turn was the [Qc], which changed nothing, but the [Kd] gave Sam the two-outer he needed to eliminate Aaron. Aaron will collect $43,844 for his 4th place finish today.
5th Place: Mike Jarvela ($32,883)
Mike Jarvela was all in preflop holding [Ah][7d] and was up against Mazen Nesheiwat's [As][Qd]. The board ran out [2s][Td][3s][8d][4d] and Mike will be our 5th place finisher. He collects $32,883 for his efforts.
Aaron Smith doubles through Sam Haddad
Aaron [As][Jh]
Sam [Kh][Kc]
Aaron got lucky when the flop fell [Ac][9s][Js], and his top two pair held through a [6s] turn and [6d] river. His chips were counted, and Sam shipped over 845,000 chips into Aaron's stack.
Cards back in the air
Cards are back in the air and the final five are now playing 25,000/50,000 blinds with a 5,000 ante.
Chip counts at dinner break
Players are now on their one hour dinner break. Play will resume at approximately 7:45pm. Here are updated chip counts in seat order:
Mike Jarvela - 855,000
Mazen Nesheiwat - 1,585,000
Aaron Smith - 450,000
Sam Haddad - 2,100,000
She Lok Wong - 1,750,000
Mike Jarvela - 855,000
Mazen Nesheiwat - 1,585,000
Aaron Smith - 450,000
Sam Haddad - 2,100,000
She Lok Wong - 1,750,000
6th Place: Bharath Sreekanth ($26,307)
Bharath [6s][6c]
Sam [As][Kd]
It was a coin flip for over a million in chips. If Sam won, Bharath would be eliminated. If Bharath won, Sam would be crippled. The dealer fanned a [Kh][7h][5c] flop, and Sam's pair of kings took the lead. The [Jh] changed nothing, and Bharath would need a six to stay alive. But the [Ac] gave Sam the winning two pair, sending Bharath to the rail in 6th place. He will collect $26,307 for his efforts today.

7th Place: Daniel Chalifour ($21,374)
 |
| Daniel Chalifour (left) shakes hands with Aaron Smith after being eliminated |
Daniel [As][Ts]
Aaron [Qh][Qc]
Any hope of sucking out was mostly taken away as the flop fell [5h][7d][Qd], giving Aaron top set and leaving Daniel to have only runner runner outs. The turn and river failed to save Daniel, and he will exit this tournament in 7th place, good for $21,374.
Updated chip counts at the break
The eight remaining players are now on a 15 minute break. When they return, blinds will be 15,000/30,000 with a 4,000 ante. Here are updated chip counts in seat order:

She Lok Wong makes a straight flush
We didn't catch the hand, but on the river She Lok Wong bet and his opponent folded. She Lok tabled a straight flush, holding [Jd][Td] on a [Kh][9d][Qd][Th][8d] board. We caught a shot of it on the live stream shown below:
9th Place: Joseph Tieri ($13,712)

A few hands later, Antoine was all in and out of his chair as his [Tc][9s] was in trouble against his opponent's [Ah][Kh]. The [6d][7d][8c] flop changed all that as it gave Antonie a 99% chance of doubling up. The [4c] turn secured him the doubleup, and the river fell the meaningless [2s]. Antoine ends this rollercoaster with 225,000.

She Lok Wong doubles again
She Lok Wong doubles through Mazen Nesheiwat
She Lok Wong was all in preflop holding [Ks][Kc] and was up against Mazen Nesheiwat's [Qs][Js]. The board ran out fairly clean for She Lok as it fell [7c][Ac][9d][6d][9c], and he will double up to approximately 350,000.
10th Place: Bob Ricciuti ($9,590)

Antoine Younes doubles through Sam Haddad
On a [3h][5h][8h], Antoine Younes was all in holding [Ah][Qd] and was drawing to the nut flush against Sam Haddad's [3d][3c]. The [2s] gave Antoine a gutshot straight draw as well, but the [9h] river gave Antoine the winning flush. He will double up to approximately 620,000.
Bharath Sreekanth doubles through Aaron Smith
On one of the first hands of the final table, Bharath Sreekanth was all in holding [Ks][Kh] and was called by Aaron Smith holding [Th][Tc]. The board ran out [7d][Qs][9c][6d][As] and Bharath will double up to approximately 400,000.
