6. Carlo Sciannameo  8,140,000
8. Sherif Sweillam  1,505,000
9. Adam Bitker  4,090,000

Joseph Liberta Eliminated in 4th Place ($28,087)

Joseph Liberta

Joseph Liberta raises from the button to 160,000 and is called by Carlo Sciannameo in the small blind.  The flop comes [Qh][Td][3h] and Sciannameo checks.

Liberta bets 205,000 and Sciannameo calls.  The turn is the [8c] and Sciannameo checks once more.  This time, Liberta fires 450,000.  Again, Sciannameo makes the call.

The river comes the [Ks] and Sciannameo announces that he is all-in, having Liberta well covered.  Liberta calls and Sciannameo announces "Kings up."

Liberta mucks his hand as Sciannameo flips over [Kd][Ts]. 

Liberta is eliminated in 4th place and takes home $28,087.

Charles Davis Eliminated in 5th Place ($21,156)

Charles Davis

Carlo Sciannameo raises to 200,000 before the flop and Charles Davis moves all-in for an additional 1,425,000.  Sciannameo thinks for a few minutes before announcing a call.  They turn up:

Sciannameo - [Ad][Kd]
Davis - [9h][9s]

The flop comes down a monster for both players in the form of [Kh][9d][4d].  Sciannameo flops top pair and the nut flush draw while Davis makes a set.  The turn is the [Jc], but the river comes the [7d], giving Sciannameo a flush and the pot.

Davis is eliminated in 5th place for $21,156.

Henry Chen Eliminated in 6th Place ($16,160)

Henry Chen

Henry Chen open ships all-in from the button for his last 770,000 and is called by Sherif Sweillam in the small blind.  They turn up:

Peter Sennon Eliminated in 7th Place ($12,548)

Peter Sennon

Peter Sennon raises to 135,000 before the flop and Joseph Liberta three-bets all-in, having Sennon covered.  Sennon calls and they turn up:

Liberta - [Ah][Kd]
Sennon - [Ac][6d]

The board runs out [Tc][3d][2s][9h][7d] and Liberta wins the pot with his ace-king high.

Sennon is eliminated in 7th place and takes home $12,548.

Tim @TookURCookie Lahey Eliminated in 8th Place ($9,885)

Tim Lahey

Charles Davis raises to 200,000 before the flop and Tim Lahey moves all-in for an additional 580,000.  Davis calls and they turn up:

Davis - [Ah][Qs]
Lahey - [As][Js]

The board comes [Ac][5h][4d][7d][7c] and Davis takes the pot.

Lahey is eliminated in 8th place for $9,885.

Chris Schonbach Eliminated in 9th Place ($7,890)

Chris Schonbach

Chris Schonbach moves all-in for 600,000 and Adam Bitker moves all-in behind him.  Everyone else folds and they turn over:

Schonbach - [As][Kd]
Bitker - [Qc][Qd]

The board runs out [Jh][5c][5s][Js][Th] and Bitker's pocket queens hold up to eliminate Schonback in 9th place for $7,890.

Peter Carroll Eliminated in 10th Place ($6,383)

Peter Carroll

After being crippled just one hand earlier, Peter Carroll moves all-in for his last 145,000 from under the gun and is called by Adam Bitker in the big blind.  They turn up:

Carroll - [As][7d]
Bitker - [4s][2s]

The board runs out [Kh][Ts][5c][Ks][4c] and Bitker catches a four on the river to win the pot and eliminate Carroll in 10th place for $6,383.
