Here is a look at the highlights from the final table, as featured on CardPlayer.com’s live updates:

Ray: 10 9
Hong: K 9
Board: J 8 2 4 5

Ray was dominated preflop, but the flop was very helpful, giving him an open-ended straight draw. The turn added more outs as he developed a flush draw. But the river was a brick for Ray, and he was the first casualty of the final table, exiting in sixth place and pocketing $31,966.

Barry Shulman Eliminated in Fifth Place ($43,201)

Shulman: Q 10
Horkko: 4 4

The turn was the 7, and the river brought the A, failing to improve Shulman’s hand, and he was knocked out in fifth place.

Kevin Hong Eliminated in Fourth Place($60,885)

Brock Parker raised to 100,000 preflop, and Daniel Negreanu three-bet to 150,000. It was then Hong’s turn to raise it up, as he four-bet to 200,000. Both opponents called, and the flop came 9 5 2. Hong led out for 50,000, and both opponents called. The turn was the J, and Hong bet 100,000. Parker then raised to 200,000, and Negreanu mucked. Hong called his remaining stack into the pot, and both players showed their hands.

Hong: K Q
Parker: 5 5

Parker flopped a set, and Hong needed to hit a 10 for a straight to double up. The river brought the 5, giving Parker quads and sending Hong out in fourth place.
