Ariel Mantel raised to 50,000 from the cutoff and Joel Harwood called in the big blind.

The flop was QsTc6c, Harwood led for 75,000, Mantel potted, and Harwood called all in for 130,000 total with KsTd8c7d for a pair of tens with a straight draw. Mantel showed AsKdJh7s for a wrap with backdoor spades.

Ariel Mantel  –  680,000  (34 bb)
Joel Harwood  –  Eliminated in 7th Place  ($1,935)

Harwood was one of three family members at the final table, with his daughter Loni Hui and his son-in-law Phil Hui, and they briefly represented 50% of the remaining players in the tournament. It’s also Harwood’s birthday today, and Loni pointed out that seventh place on his 77th birthday was a pretty good finish.

With six players remaining from a field of 93, the average chip stack is around 390,000 (20 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $2,300.
