Hand #52 - Chau Giang Eliminated in 5th Place ($96,005)

Hand #52 - Van Marcus has the button in seat 2, Giang limps from the small blind for 30,000, and Morad checks his option. The flop comes {K-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, and both players check. The turn card is the {3-Hearts}, Giang pot-bets 60,000, Morad raises, and Giang calls all in. The players show:

Giang: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Morad: {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}

Morad has the lead with the ace-high straight and the nut flush draw, while Giang has a set of tens. Giang will need the board to pair to stay alive.

The river card is the {9-Hearts}, and Morad's straight holds up. Chau Giang is eliminated in fifth place, earning $96,005. The next player eliminated will receive $129,691 for fourth place.

Bracelets at the Table

Right now, there are six bracelets represented at the final table. Chau Giang has three, Chris Bjorin has two, and Qushqar Morad has one.

Morad's tournament career is interesting, because the online databases show only one result -- a WSOP bracelet in 2002 in $5,000 seven card stud, earning $172,960. There's nothing else listed for Qushqar Morad.
