There is a short break to color up the 5K chips after Level 27, and these were the official chip counts with the blinds increasing to 50K-75K:

Seat 1.  Al Gomez  –  850,000  (11 bb)
Seat 2.  Michael Tait  –  1,050,000  (14 bb)
Seat 3.  Scott Roberts  –  1,925,000  (26 bb)

Seat 5.  David Shmuel  –  3,200,000  (43 bb)
Seat 6.  Rene Noriega  –  750,000  (10 bb)

A half hour later, the blinds increased to 50K-100K, and Scott Roberts raised under the gun to 225,000. Rene Noriega moved all in from the button for 425,000, and Roberts called with QhQc.

Noriega turned over AcKc, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came Kh10d5c9hQd — Noriega paired his king on the flop, but Roberts rivered a set of queens to win the pot and eliminate Noriega in sixth place.

Scott Roberts  –  3,600,000  (36 bb)
Rene Noriega  –  Eliminated in 6th Place  ($3,157)

With five players remaining, the average chip stack is about 1,850,000 (19 big blinds), and the next player to bust will earn $3,157.
