We're down to the final four players and it's all about this action hand:
David Sklansky (1,880,000 chips) (3 time bracelet winner and poker author) is first to act. He wakes up with suited connectors 8d 9d. He wants to see a flop with this hand and considers than he might be able to represent a bigger hand on later streets by just limping in. As chip leader he flat calls for 60,000 chips.
Mike Harthcock (1,045,000 chips) (4 time bracelet winner) is on the button. He picks up 3s 4s, a nice little drawing hand. Although concerned by Sklansky's limp he feels that his hand might have value if he sees a suitable flop and flat calls.
On the small blind is relative unknown Paul Chenoweth (990,000 chips)(no bracelets). It's clearly and hand for suited connectors as Chenoweth picks up Tc 9c. He sees the value in the hand and makes up the big blind.
Dan Harrington (655,000 chips)(2 bracelets, main event winner and also poker author) is on the Big Blind. He is also concerned about the Sklansky limp at this stage of the tournament. He picks up Qh Ah. Normally he would consider this a raising hand but so deterred by the action before him he elects to check his option.
The flop comes down 4h 9h 3h, everyone has a piece of it.
Chenoweth hits top pair, but he's out of position and concerned about the Sklansky limp. The suited board scares him, he wishes it was clubs. He checks.
Short-stack Harrington has flopped the nut flush. He decides to slow play and checks.
Sklansky who has also flopped top pair decides to test the waters with a bet of 180,000 chips into the pot of 240,000. He's got a hand, but also looking for information from the other players.
However, Harthcock has flopped 2 pair and decides to make a solid raise to 460,000 chips.
Chenoweth is done with the hand and folds.
Harrington now makes his move. Realising that Harthcock has to call his push as he is pot committed to the shove, Harrington moves all of his chips into the middle.
Sklansky has the information he needs. It's an easy fold.
However, Harthcock can't pass for the extra and calls for the remainder.
Harrington and Harthcock flip their cards and Harthcock grimaces as he sees Harringtons holding.
The turn card is dealt - 4c.
Harrington can't believe his luck, Harthcock makes his boat and Harrington is drawing dead.
The river is irrelevant, but the board is completed by - 4d.
To add insult to injury Harthcock makes quads!!! Bad luck for Harrington, he's out in 4th. He got his chips in ahead only to get outdrawn.
Who finished 5th?
