So what's happened in the first 15 minutes since returning from break? Well, Eddy Scharf moved all in once and there were a couple of preflop raises to take down the blinds, but not much has really happened.
We did witness one flop come down and Joe Baldwin check-raised Scharf's bet of 110,000 to 260,000, but that was it. Scharf folded to the raise and we moved on the next the one.
The tournament director came over and said, "You know, this is supposed to be more agressive with six handed."
Action folded to Jarred Solomon on the button. He moved all of his 1.095 million chips into the middle. William Haydon folded from the small blind and then action moved to Joe Baldwin in the big blind.
"I feel like I have to call," said Baldwin, taking a moment. He then made the call and the hands were revealed.
Solomon held the and was behind, but live against the of Baldwin.
The flop came down and Baldwin improved to a pair of aces while Solomon was left with a straight draw to broadway.
The turn card was the and then the river the . Neither of those helped Solomon despite the pleas from his railbirds and he was eliminated in fifth place, over three hours after we lost the sixth-place finisher. He took home over $110,000 for his effort.
Eddy Scharf open shoved from under the gun and Jeffrey "jpapola" Papola re-shoved on the button. The blinds released and the hands were opened.
Showdown
Scharf:
Papola:
"Jamie Gold flop!" Andrew Black yelled from the rail. "Eight, nine, ten!"
The flopped pair Scharf and the on the turn added some more outs.
Scharf stood pumping his fist trying to will a queen, jack or ten.
The river was the though and Scharf could do nothing but smile. He shook Papola's hand and headed to the cage to collect his $163,649 for 4th place.
Papola is now second in chips with 3,300,000.
From the button, Will Haydon raised to 175,000. Joe Baldwin reraised from the small blind to 595,000. Haydon moved all in for 1.815 million and Baldwin called.
Baldwin was in dominating position with the versus the of Haydon.
The flop was everything but a miss for Haydon when it came , giving him a pair of tens and a flush draw. The turn got even better when the fell and then the river ended things and secured his double up with the , finishing him off with a flush.
The remaining three players are now on a 20-minute break.
