At 25,000/50,000 blinds with a 5,000 ante, Jay Kovoor-Chathoth raised to 110,000 on the button and Wayne Kaufmann folded his small blind. Brad St. Vincent moved all in from the big blind, and Jay made the call. Brad was in bad shape with his [Kc][Jh] against Jay's [As][Jd], and the [6s][3s][Ad] killed almost all of Brad's hope to survive. The [3c] turn meant Brad was drawing dead, and he was eliminated in 3rd place when the meaningless [Kh] hit the river. Brad will earn $24,561 for his efforts.

Roland Israelashvili has won Event #6
Roland Israelashvili has defeated Thomas Balla heads up to win Event #6 $580 Six-Max NLH. Roland will take home $12,485 and the World Series of Poker Circuit ring.
Entering heads up play, Thomas Balla had a chip lead over Roland, but Roland stole the chip lead away when he hit a lucky river to survive. Roland had a flush draw and got all in with one card to come against Thomas's trip fours. Roland hit a diamond to take over the chip lead. Not much later, Thomas was all in on an ace high flop holding ace-five but was in bad shape against Roland's [Ac][Jc]. No three outer came, and Thomas was eliminated in 2nd for $8,354.
ring-less. second place. not good enough. no excuses. pretty much freerolling Vegas now tho! #mrbrightside— Thomas J. Balla (@ThomasJBalla) May 18, 2015

Wayne Kaufmann (button) - 2,935,000

Event #6 $580 Six-Max NLH is now heads up. Thomas Balla holds the chip lead with 810,000 to Roland Israelashvili's 350,000. Here are the final table eliminations so far:
3rd Place: Kevin Balcom ($5,485)
4th Place: Michael Carusone ($4,338)
5th Place: Baruch Thaler ($3,282)
6th Place: Ralph Macri ($2,527)

6th Place: Ralph Macri ($2,527)
7th Place: Gennadiy Kostrov ($1,881)
4th Place: Michael Savino ($18,231)
Wayne Kaufmann opened the pot before Michael Savino moved all in. Action folded back to Wayne who thought about it before calling. Michael exposed his [Qs][Qh], which was way in front of Wayne's [6d][6c]. The [4c][Jd][5c] changed nothing, but the [7s] gave Wayne an open ended straight draw to go with his pre-existing two outs. The [3d] river completed that straight, eliminating Michael in 4th place. He will earn $18,231 for his efforts.
Couldn't close it out. Finished 4th. My QQ couldn't beat 66 Aip. Flop 4 5 J turn 7 River 3. So sick #showers #ihatethisgame @FoxwoodsPoker

Jay Kovoor-Chathoth - 1,855,000
5th Place: Bernard Mahar ($13,673)
Bernard Mahar was all in preflop holding [Ks][Kd] and was in great shape to double up against Jay Kovoor-Chathoth's [Kh][Qc]. As the flop fell [Tc][2h][Ac], Bernard said, "It's never easy," as Brad had picked up a gutshot to beat him. The [6c] turn gave Jay more outs to a flush, and the [8c] completed that flush. Bernard will exit this tournament in 5th place after that bad beat, earning $13,673 for his efforts.
6th Place: Sean Carlson ($10,432)
Sean Carlson moved all in from the button and Wayne Kaufmann made the call from the small blind. Michael Savino folded the big blind, and the two exposed their hands:
Sean [Ac][Th]
Wayne [9d][9c]
The board ran out a pure [Kc][2h][6s][7c][2s], and Sean will exit this tournament in 6th place. He will earn $10,432 for his efforts.

9th Place: Dustin Denzik ($5,064)
On a [Jd][9d][8d] flop, Dustin Denzik was all in holding [9c][8c] for bottom two pair against his opponent's [Jh][Td]. Even with the best hand, Dustin was only 35% to win as his opponent had so many outs. The [3c] turn made Dustin the favorite, but the [4d] river completed his opponent's flush. Dustin will exit this tournament in 9th place, good for $5,064.
10th Place: Bob Ricciuti ($4,077)
Bob Ricciuti was all in preflop holding [2s][2h] and was up against the [Ad][Kd] of Wayne Kaufmann. As the [7s][Kc][5d] flop hit, Bob got out of his chair.

The bubble has burst in Event #5 $580 NLH
At 2,000/4,000 blinds with a 500 ante, James Campbell opened the hijack to 8,000. The small blind moved all in for 59,000 and James snap called after the big blind folded. It was a race as James held [Ac][Js] against the small blind's [6h][6d]. The flop brought some extra outs for James as it fell [8c][Td][Tc], and the [Qh] brought even more outs for James. The [Ks] hit the river to give James a runner-runner straight, eliminating his opponent. With that hand, the bubble has been burst, and the remaining 54 players are now in the money. They are all guaranteed a payday of $962.
Event #5 $580 NLH is now hand for hand

1st Place: Chad Brown ($29,100)
The board read [7c][6d][Ac], and James Campbell was all in holding [Ah][9s] and was up against Chad Brown's [9h][8h]. The [5c] turn completed Chad's straight, but James had a gutshot to a bigger straight. The [Jd] river meant Chad would win the hand. The stacks were counted down, and it was confirmed that Chad had James covered. James will exit the tournament in 2nd place for $17,984.
Chad Brown has won his first WSOP Circuit ring, along with $29,100 for 1st place. Congratulations, Chad!
James Campbell doubles up three times to even the stacks
Chad Brown had James Campbell on the ropes, and James was all in with
ten-eight against Chad's ace high. James turned a straight to double up
and survive.
A few hands later, again Chad had James in bad shape with queens to eights, and again James found a straight on the river.
For a third time, Chad had James all in. This time James had ace-six to Chad's eight-seven. The ace high held up, and James will double up to 586,000, now only slightly behind Chad's 774,000.

Chad Brown doubles through James Campbell to take the chip lead
Chad Brown was all in preflop holding [Qs][Jc] and was flipping with James Campbell's [9d][9c]. The [Ts][Jh][2h] flop gave Chad top pair, and the [2d] turn and [5c] river changed nothing. Chad's stack was counted down to 440,000, and he will double up to take the chip lead. James will be left with 500,000, but it is still anyone's game as they are playing 8,000/16,000 blinds with a 2,000 ante.
3rd Place: Joshua Silva ($12,804)
Joshua Silva raised the small blind and Chad Brown called from the big blind. The flop fell [Ts][Qd][Ks] and Joshua moved all in. Chad made the call, showing [Kc][Tc] for two pair. Joshua held [Qc][7s] and would need to catch a queen to survive. The [6c] turn and [8h] river meant Joshua will exit this tournament in 3rd place, good for $12,804.

Joshua Silva - 483,000
5th Place: Akash Mazumdar ($6,887)
Akash Mazumdar put the last of his chips in with [Ks][7s] and was called by James Campbell holding [Ah][Ts]. Akash said, "Ooops," and the dealer spread the [Kd][9h][Qd] flop. James would need to catch an ace or a jack to send his opponent to the rail. The turn [Tc] opened up a few more outs for James. The [Js] hit the river to put a straight on board, but James had a bigger straight with his ace. Akash will exit this tournament in 5th place, good for $6,887.
6th Place: Taylor Black ($5,199)
Taylor Black moved all in with [Ah][7c] and was snap called by Chad Brown who held [As][Ac]. As the flop fell [Ad][2c][4s], all Taylor could say was, "Wow," as he got up out of his seat. The turn and river fell [6h][6s] to give Chad a full house, and Taylor will exit this tournament in 6th place. He will earn $5,199 for his efforts.
Akash Mazumdar triples up
We saw a three way all in with both Taylor Black and Joshua Silva holding ace-king, and Akash Mazumdar holding [Qh][Jc]. Knowing the odds, Chris Tryba joked that he wanted to bet his stack on Akash's hand. It would have been a good bet, as the flop fell [4s][Ts][Qs], giving Akash top pair. He would still need to dodge quite a few cards, as one of the players held the [As]. The turn fell [4h] and the river [6d] to triple Akash up, bumping his chip count to 369,000.
