Once the deal was made, play opened up considerably, as payouts were virtually all locked in, apart from that of the eventual winner.
Yang Guo was the first to go, and he was followed shortly by Shawn Dubeau, who ran into the pocket rockets of Alex Plourde. Alex now leads with nearly 500,000 in chips, and the other three are fairly close, all holding roughly 300,000 each.
5th place: Shawn Dubeau – $2,100
6th place: Yang Guo – $1,575
