After that double elimination hand in which Curtis Early and Thom Werthmann were both eliminated, an elated Habib Khanis ran over to celebrate with his family on the rail, having survived two more pay jumps. He's now guaranteed at least $233,906.

Hand #73 - David Woo

Curtis Early has the button in Seat 5. David Woo limps in from middle position. Early calls from the button. Matt Wood calls from the small blind and Thom Werthmann checks his big blind option. We'll have four players to the flop.

The flop comes {Q-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {10-Clubs}. Wood checks and Werthmann bets 275,000. Woo calls and Curtis Early moves all in for 1,300,000. Wood folds and the action is back on Werthmann. He moves all in as well. David Woo, who has them both covered, calls and the players show:

Woo: {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}
Early: {K-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}
Werthmann: {Q-Clubs} {J-Spades}

With the crowd on its feet and Woo's supporters very excited, the turn comes the {3-Clubs} and the river the {8-Spades} behind it. David Woo takes a massive chip lead and eliminates two players in the hand.

Curtis Early is eliminated in sixth place and takes home $150,368 while Thom Werthmann is our fifth-place finisher and pockets $191,209.
