Chips Change Hands

After a series of several big hands, a lot of the chips have moved around the table as players swap chips.

Cord Garcia and Thai Hai managed to get all the chips in preflop with big stack Garcia holding pocket aces while Ha held pocket fives. Much to Garcia's disgust, a five appeared on the flop to suck the wind out of Garcia's sails and the runout bricked to award Ha the huge double.

A few hands later, Ha and Chris Staats got all in preflop, ironically, Staats held pocket fives versus Ha's king-queen. No kings or queens appeared on the flop or turn, and the river came a five to improve Staats to a set and he was awarded the pot for a double-up.

1. Chris Staats: 6,100,000

2. Thai Ha: 8,200,000

3. Matt Brayer: 4,900,000

4. Cord Garcia: 9,560,000

Juan Lopez Jr. Eliminated in 5th Place ($20,720)

After a preflop betting war, Juan Lopez Jr. moved all in and Cord Garcia made the call to put him at risk.

Lopez Jr flipped over [Ah9s] but then Garcia rolled over a superior [As10h].

The flop came out [10s4s4c] to leave Lopez Jr. drawing extremely slim as he could now only hit running fours or nines to stay alive.

Unfortunately, the turn came the [6c] to kill those hopes and the [8h] on the river sealed Lopez Jr.'s fate as he was knocked out in 5th place.

Sanjeev Vora Eliminated in 6th Place ($16,720)

Sanjeev Vora got it all in preflop against Cord Garcia with his tournament life on the line.

Vora tabled [KhQc] while Garcia flipped over [As10c].

"Alright Sanjeev, let's spin the wheel, me and you!" Garcia said as the dealer put out the flop of [Kc3hAh] to give both players a pair, but Garcia was in the lead with his ace.

The runout of [9c5s] failed to help Vora and he was eliminated in 6th place for a nice payout of $16,720.
