$5k NLHE Six-Max - Six Players Remain 5 months ago

We finally have a true final table as the $5k No Limit Hold’em Six-Max event is down to six players.

Robert Kay, who spent a considerable amount of time atop the chip leader board in this tournament, busted out in seventh place, leaving us the magnificent six in the final bracelet tournament before the Main Event.

Here’s a look at what’s gone down:

Kay K.O.ed (7th Place)

Robert Kay’s tournament life came down to a pre-flop all-in against Matt Hawrilenko, but he was in trouble from the start with Kh Qs against Hawrilenko’s Ah Kc.

The board came 2d 3c Ks Th Jd, which would have given Kay a winner if he wasn’t up against another king with a better kicker.

Kay takes home $100,230 for seventh place.

Pick Six

The official final table is set, with Kay sent home on the final table bubble.

Hawrilenko and Josh Brikis are neck-and-neck atop the chip leader board, but all six players still have enough chips to have a legit shot at the bracelet.

The players have just gone on dinner break and will be back at the table at 7:45 Las Vegas time.

Josh Brikis ran ace-queen into James St. Hilaire's ace-king, but instead of hitting the rail, he rivered a queen and suddenly became the new chip leader.

St. Hilaire was out ninth a few hands later when another river queen bested his pocket fours.

Thorsten Schaefer was the next to go when yet another queen on the river made him top pair.

Faraz Jaka had made a flush on fourth street.

With that they have redrawn for seats at the seven-handed final table and made plans to play two more levels before taking a dinner break.

Here are the chip counts going into the final table:

Josh Brikis
3.8 million
