8 John Juanda $ 274,000
9 Andrew 'AK' Barta $ 206,000

Button is on Andrew Barta. James Caparuscio raises to 58K. Kevin Chan makes it an all in play this time. Folded around to James "Capo" who asks for a chip count. The all in raise brings it to another 216K to call. He goes to the tank and comes out firing. He calls and we see the cards. James has the Ah Qs and Kevin has the Td Jd. The flop comes the Ac Qs Th. Oh my! What a race ! The crowd goes crazy! The 5d lands on the turn and the river comes the 4s taking Kevin Chan out in 10th place for $28,372.50.

OK...all that is done. No real action yet. Got the pics up for you. I have to go through a 3-step process for each one, so, thanks for staying with me.

The ante is now 2K with 8K / 16K blinds.
