James Mackey - 10th Place
James Mackey - 10th Place

Tomer Berda opened to 110,000 from under the gun and Hungcheng Hung called from early position. James "mig.com" Mackey plopped his last 80,000 in the middle on the button and Ali Alawadhi called from the small blind.

The flop fell {6-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{2-Clubs}, and all three of the acting players checked.

Alawadhi again checked after the {4-Diamonds} turned, but Berda fired 200,000. Hung called and Alawadhi got out of the way.

The river brought the {a-Hearts} and Berda quickly led for 300,000. Hung folded and it was showdown time.

Berda opened two black fours for a set, and Mackey gave a wry smile before opening {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}.

As the entire tabled celebrated making the official final table, Mackey slipped away looking for a floorperson to take him to the payout line. Finally, after a minute or so, he found some assistance and was escorted away.
