Brandon Mitchell: K♥9♥ 
Lou Garza: K♦K♣
Mitchell was in rough shape against the Cowboys of Garza. The flop came down J♣A♣10♠ to give Mitchell a glimmer of hope at a chop. The 4♣ turn removed one of those chop outs, as Garza picked up a flush draw. The river was the 10♦ sealing Mitchell's fate as the fifth-place finisher of this event.
