Event 27 Final Table

After the elimination of William Mattison in eighth place on the Money Bubble, the final seven players are in the money, and they redraw for random seats at the final table. There was enough time for one hand of Triple-Draw before the limits increased to 15,000-30,000, and it was a raise-and-take-it for Chris Labrie.

Here is the lineup with approximate chip counts:

Seat 1.  Victor Nassif  –  56,000  (2 BB)
Seat 2.  Joseph Olivieri  –  34,000  (1 BB)
Seat 3.  Carl Buckland  –  55,000  (2 BB)
Seat 4.  David Shmuel  –  545,000  (18 BB)
Seat 5.  Ryan Hoenig  –  40,000  (1 BB)
Seat 6.  Josh Heinzl  –  360,000  (12 BB)
Seat 7.  Chris Labrie  –  325,000  (11 BB)

And here are the payouts they’re playing for:

1st:  $10,670 + Showdown Trophy
2nd:  $6,345
3rd:  $3,895
4th:  $2,740
5th:  $2,165
6th:  $1,730
7th:  $1,295

With seven players remaining from a field of 56, the average chip stack is around 200,000 (7 Big Bets).
