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.

Hand #50

Hand #50 - Alan Smurfit has the button in seat 7, and everyone folds to Marcus, giving him a walk in the big blind. Marcus shows A-A-x-x as he collects the blinds.

Hand #49

Hand #49 - Qushqar Morad has the button in seat 4, Giang raises from the cutoff to 105,000, and Bjorin calls from the big blind. The flop comes {J-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, Bjorin pot-bets 225,000, and Giang thinks for about two minutes before he folds.

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.

Hand #48

Hand #48 - Chau Giang has the button in seat 3, Morad limps from the small blind for 30,000, and Smurfit checks. The flop comes {5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, Morad checks, Smurfit bets 30,000, and Morad calls. The turn card is the {A-Spades}, Morad checks, Smurfit bets 100,000, and Morad calls. The river card is the {5-Diamonds}, and both players check. Smurfit shows 3-2-X-X to win the pot with a wheel (a five-high straight).

Hand #46

Hand #46 - Chris Bjorin has the button in seat 8, he raises to 75,000, and Giang pot-raises to 240,000. Bjorin asks for a count of how much Giang has left behind before he folds. Giang takes the pot.
