There was a three-way preflop all-in situation at Table 41, with Joe McKeehen all in for about 43,000, Frank Marasco all in for about 47,000, and the third player covering them both.

These were their cards in descending order of chip counts:

Big Stack:  7s7d
Frank Marasco:  KsKd
Joe McKeehen:  Jd8d

The board came 10d6h2h4c8s, and the pocket kings held up for Marasco to double thru the big stack and eliminate McKeehen.

Frank Marasco  –  150,000  (30 bb)
Joe McKeehen  –  Eliminated

With 60 players remaining from a field of 413, the average chip stack is about 138,000 (28 big blinds). The final 52 players will finish in the money, guaranteed at least $3,670.
