and Maren bet 130,000. Fetter moved all in and Maren made the call showing A884. Fetter revealed KK
42 and the turn and river came 3Q giving Fetter the double up with his kings up. The low failed to materialize and Maren took a hit to his stack.
Jon Maren Eliminated in Fifth Place ($56,019)
On a flop of KQ8, Jon Maren moved all in and was called by Casey Kastle. Kastle turned over 6--6-5-2 and it was surprisingly in the lead of Maren's A-J-3-2. The turn was the 2, giving Maren the nut low draw along with his two overs and gutshot, but the river was the Q, meaning that Kastle's lowly pair of sixes was enough to send Maren to the rail in fifth place.
NOTE: The players are now on a one-hour dinner break.
