A player moved all in from the cutoff for 13,000, and Duff Charette called from the big blind with 5h5c. His opponent turned over Qd6d, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came JdJc10s4dJs, and the pocket fives held up for Charette to win the pot and eliminate his opponent.

Duff Charette  –  85,000  (57 bb)

That left 30 players in the field, which meant one of the tables was broken to leave five tables. Here are some other chip counts from the field:

James Salmon  –  190,000  (127 bb)
Steve Karp  –  135,000  (90 bb)
Anthony Askey  –  110,000  (73 bb)
Aaron Thivyanathan  –  85,000  (57 bb)
Josh Cranfill  –  83,000  (55 bb)
Raminder Singh  –  83,000  (55 bb)
Carlos Rojas  –  67,000  (45 bb)
Athanasios Polychronopoulos  –  52,000  (35 bb)
Long Nguyen  –  35,000  (23 bb)
Matthew Waxman  –  30,000  (20 bb)

With 30 players remaining, the average chip stack is about 75,500 (50 big blinds). The final 19 players will finish in the money, earning at least $885 each.
