James hardy did all he could to protect his aces, but in a pot limit game, there is only so much protection you can create for yourself. This hand was potted pre-flop, called by Ron Farber, and the two got it in on the flop, after Farber had hit big.

Farber’s set held on, and he claimed the pot. Shortly after, as we were writing these lines, he also sent Michael McKinnon home, and he is now sitting on a very healthy stack. The final table has formed, and in about 15 minutes we will publish the seating chart with chip counts.
Nice run by James Hardy and Michael McKinnon, and good luck to all finalists!
