Hand #33: Peter Nguyen

Peter Nguyen had the button. J.C. Tran raised to 105,000 from the hijack seat, and Peter Nguyen reraised to 380,000 total from the button. It folded back around to Tran, who also let it go.

Hand #34: John Conroy

It folded to Rasmus Nielsen on the button, who this time took his foot off the gas and folded, too. Joe Pelton completed in the small blind, and John Conroy checked his option from the big blind.

The flop came {5-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}. Pelton bet 55,000, and Conroy quickly raised to 175,000 total. Pelton folded, and Conroy took the pot.

Hand #35: Chad Siu Eliminated in 6th Place ($150,257)

Joe Pelton had the button. Chad Siu moved all in for 210,000 from middle position, and Pelton made the call. The blinds folded.

Siu {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}
Pelton {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

The flop came {4-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}, and Siu was still ahead. The turn was the {3-Spades}, and Siu just had to sweat the two red nines. Alas, the river was the {9-Diamonds}, and Siu was eliminated in sixth.

Hand #36: J.C. Tran

It folded around to John Conroy who raised to 115,000 from the button. J.C. Tran then reraised from the small blind to a total of 375,000. Peter Nguyen folded from the big blind, and Conroy went into the tank for about a minute before folding.

Hand #38: Joe Pelton

Peter Nguyen had the button. It folded to Rasmus Nielsen who completed from the small blind, and Joe Pelton checked from the big blind.

Both checked the {4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop. The turn was the {3-Diamonds}, and both checked again. The river was the {A-Clubs}. Nielsen checked, Pelton bet 75,000, and Nielsen folded.

Hand #40: J.C. Tran

Joe Pelton had the button. It folded around to John Conroy who completed from the small blind, and J.C. Tran checked from the big blind.

The flop came {K-Clubs}{4-Spades}{7-Hearts}. Conroy bet 50,000, about half the pot, and Tran called. The turn was the {5-Diamonds}, and both checked. The river was the {2-Diamonds}, and both checked again.

Conroy showed {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for fours, and Tran turned over pocket sixes, winning the pot.
