Brian Altman is more active, now that he found some chips. On that hand, he opened from the button, and Matthew Shafman defended his big blind. After a check, Brian placed a continuation bet, and it was met by a shove. At that point of the hand, Shafman had 334K. Brian called right away, having flopped a top pair.

Matthew did not find help on the run out, and took $12,470, the 4th place money. Excellent run! Altman lost a few stacks of chips to Sherman on the last hand before the break. Here are the resulting stacks:
- Matthew Sherman – 1,955,000
- Brian Altman – 820,000
- Jamie Sequeira – 500,000
Good luck to our 3 finalists!
