Since reaching five-handed play, the action has slowed considerably. There have been very few pots raised pre-flop and a bet on the flop has typically been enough to take it down. Both Barry Carter and Karlos Farah are currently short-stacked and have been able to survive by picking up the blinds with all in raises before the flop.

The next player out will receive $6,776 while the winner will take home $22,264-- a $15,488 difference.
