6th Place: Bharath Sreekanth ($26,307)

At 15,000/30,000 blinds, Bharath Sreekanth opened to 80,000 in the cutoff before Sam Haddad reraised from the small blind to 350,000.  Action folded back to Bharath who moved all in for an additional 520,000.  Sam got up from his chair and reasoned through the hand, eventually making the call.

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.
