Michael Katz - 6th PlaceMichael Katz Eliminated in 6th Place ($79,385)
There's no justice in poker. If there were, the best hand would hold up every time. Michael Katz shoved all in on three of the first four hands after we came back from break. On the fifth hand he shoved again after Jorg Peisert opened for 150,000. Peisert decided to look him up with pocket threes and was really disappointed to see Katz open pocket fours.
Peisert was so agitated he walked ten steps away from the table. That left his rail to sweat the flop, and they were very excited to see a flop of 
. Katz had plenty of outs but missed them all with the turn 
and river 
. Katz leaves with $79,385 and we are down to five. -
