Event 13: Charles Katz Eliminated in 5th Place ($6,770)

Charles Katz - 5th Place ($6,770)

James Kinney's continued heater just cost Charles Katz the last of his 375,000 chip stack.

Katz was all in before the flop with his {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}, but Kinney could afford the loose call with his {Q-Spades}{7-Spades}, so he took a shot to jump up the pay ladder by stepping on another man's neck.

Flop: {6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

The sight of a queen on the flop prompted Katz to stand in anticipation of imminent defeat, and when the turn card came {7-Hearts} his premonition was proven to be accurate. Katz was drawing dead and the meaningless {10-Clubs} came on the river, pairing him just to rub in the badness of the beat.

Despite falling short of his goal, Katz received $6,770 for his deep run here today. Kinney, meanwhile, continued to roll through the final table, busting yet another player to extend his enormous chip lead.
