Top Pair Top Kicker with Ace-King for David Covarrubias but his King gives his challenger a flush and Covarrubias – leader in the Series Champion race – is out 10 before the money in the $550 Main Event.
This now give Federico Ayala, Justin Moore, Vincent Chung and Nabil Esho a shot at taking the title.
Ayala has the cleanest path, needing a 14th-place finish or better to overcome Covarrubias and then hold off late challenges by the other players. Moore and Esho need a Main Event win and no better than a 15th-place finish for Ayala.
Chung gets there win a main event win and no better than a 10th-place finish for Ayala.
