Matthew Sloan opened the button to 30,000, Seth Davies called in the small blind, and Chad J. Brown defended his big blind to create three-way action.

The flop was KsJcTh. It checked to Sloan, who continued for 35,000, and only Brown called. Heads up, the turn was the 3s, and Brown checked again. Sloan bet 55,000, and Brown check-raised all in for about 150,000 total. Sloan instantly called to put him at risk.

Sloan: AsQs (Broadway straight)
Brown: Qh9d (king-high straight)

Despite flopping a straight, Brown was drawing dead to a chop, and the 8c river was no help. He was eliminated in fourth place at the hands of Sloan.

Matthew Sloan – 590,000 (49 bb)
Chad J. Brown – Eliminated
