2nd Place: Michael Woods ($12,000)

Michael Woods was all in with [Jd][Td] on a [6d][8h][7d] flop against the [8d][6c] of Matt Miller.  Michael needed a diamond or a nine to win.  When the turn fell [Tc], Michael picked up additional outs and now also could catch a ten or a jack to make a better two pair, although a nine would now chop the pot.  It was not to be however, as the [2s] fell on the river giving Matt the winning hand.  Michael will collect $12,000 for his efforts.

Michael Hansen has been eliminated in 4th place when his AJ failed to outrace Kurt Martineit's [5s][5c].  In the photo above, Michael reacts to Kurt turning quad fives to leave him drawing dead.  Michael will earn $12,000 for his efforts.
