Four handed chip counts at the break

The final four players are now on a ten minute break. When they return, blinds will be 15,000/30,000 with a 5,000 ante. Here are updated chip counts in seat order:

Wayne Kaufmann - 1,470,000
Michael Savino - 2,105,000
Brad St. Vincent - 595,000
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.

7th Place: Carlo Sciannameo ($8,103)

Carlo Sciannameo was all in preflop holding [Ad][8d] but had run into the [As][Ac] of Jay Kovoor-Chathoth. No miracles came on the [Kc][2h][3d][2c][Qc] board, and Carlo will exit this tournament in 7th place. He will earn $8,103 for his efforts.

8th Place: Phi Thanh Nguyen ($6,330)

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. When the [Ac] hit the turn, Bob put his jacket on. By the time the [4d] hit the river, Bob was at the payout desk to collect his $4,077 for his 10th place finish.
