Stud

Scott Abrams had the bring-in and Frankie O'Dell completed. George Trigeorgis raised to 50,000 before Abrams made it three bets to go.

O'Dell folded, and Trigeorgis raised to 100,000. Abrams called all in for 99,000, and each player's boards ran out as follows:

Trigeorgis: {Q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} / {6-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} / {8-Hearts}
Abrams: {K-Clubs}{2-Hearts} / {2-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{10-Hearts} / {3-Hearts}

With Abrams unable to improve on his split deuces, he would be eliminated in 6th place for a $16,589 payday.
