Play at the final table went for a few hours with not a lot changing from where the players started the day.  The most notably movement was that of Steve “MrTimCaum” O’Dwyer (right) in the very early going where he went from a million chips up to around 2 million.  After that chips moved around a little but the stacks stayed pretty stagnant with nobody making a huge push in either direction and the blinds slowly inching up.

With play in the 50k / 100k 10k ante level the action folded to O’Dwyer in the small blind and with the A6 he moved all in on Scotty Nguyen’s big blind.  Scotty made the call with the JJ and on the J76 he had O’Dwyer drawing to runner runner.  The turn was the A giving O’Dwyer some hope but not much as he needed one of the two remaining aces to hit on the river.  The miracle didn’t happen and with the 4 Steve O’Dwyer was eliminated in 6th place for $202,362.

After the O’Dwyer elimination Scotty pulled even with Faraz “The-Toilet” Jaka for the chip lead.  Here is how they stack up:

Faraz “The-Toilet” Jaka - 5.7 million
Scotty Nguyen - 5.7 million
Danny Alaei - 3.2 million
Shawn Buchanan - 3 million
Josh Arieh - 2.2 million
