James Freebody (Westbury, NY)

There isn't much room to play for a lot of these short stacks and it's basically going to be a competition to see who can "ladder" up the payouts for the bottom three stacks here at the Event 5 Final Table.

Almost immediately back from break, James Freebody (Westbury, NY) lost the "last longer" after moving all-in for just under 100,000 on the button.

Both Andrew Lauer and Teddy Geddes would call in the blinds and check down a board of [5h][5s][5c][Ad][7c] and Teddy would table [8c][7s], which would be good enough to win the pot, besting Freebody's [4d][4h] on the river.

Freebody would make just over $2,000 for his efforts, the biggest tournament cash since the summer of 2012 when he Final Table bubbled a Foxwoods Mega Stacks Challenge event.

On the very next hand, we'd lose another short stack, Steven Murphy...
