Brandon Berkenfeld
6th-Place Finisher Brandon Berkenfeld

At the last break, Brandon Berkenfeld was the chipleader, but his momentum shifted and he found himself as one of the short stacks.

Berkenfeld got it all in under the gun for 23,000 against Engelberth Valera (cutoff) and John Holley (button). Valera and Holley checked the dry side pot down to the river on a board of KhQh3dJd5c. Valera checked, Holley bet 10,000, and Valera folded.

Berkenfeld showed Jh7h — he flopped a flush draw and turned a pair of jacks. But Holley turned over Ad10d to win the pot with an ace-high straight, eliminating Berkenfeld in sixth place.
