Color-Up Profit for Costa

Davin Costa bet 60,000 on a {q-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{9-Hearts} board, oddly leaving himself 300 chips behind. Jose Gatmaitan hero-called and won the pot with {a-Hearts}{9-Spades} when Costa could only show {7-Spades}{6-Spades} for missed straight and flush draws. While Gatmaitan was up to 350,00 and the top of the chip counts, Costa wasn't quite out. Since it was the last hand before the color up and you can't be eliminated from a tournament by losing a chip race, Costa gets a 500 chip automatically. The question is, will Costa come back after dinner to put his 200-chip profit to use?
