Mark Vathanasin Eliminated in 6th Place ($41,900)

Level 29
Mark Vathanasin
Mark Vathanasin

Stud Hi-Lo

Mark Vathanasin: 77/6698/K All in
Eddie Blumenthal: 45/38A2/8

Mark Vathanasin completed, leaving himself just 45,000 behind. Eddie Blumenthal made it two bets to go, and Vathanasin called all in.

Vathanasin was in the lead, but Blumenthal wasted no time in making the low, as he was freerolling by fifth street. He then spiked the wheel on sixth, and Vathanasin needed a boat or a straight to chop the pot. The king he squeezed was now good, and the final five was confirmed.
