Mark Kastory moved all in from the hijack for 45,000, and Ryan Hoenig called from the small blind.

Ryan Hoenig:  Kh5s4s3h
Mark Kastroy:  Ah10c5c3c

The board came Ad4h4c9d8c, and Hoenig won the high side with trip fours. They chopped the low side with 8-5-4-3-A lows, leaving Kastory with just 1/4 of the pot.

But Kastory was still alive, and he’s already made two pay jumps at this final table as the short stack.

Ryan Hoenig  –  775,000  (39 bb)
Mark Kastory  –  30,000  (2 bb)

The next hand, Kastory was forced all in from the big blind, with 10,000 in as the ante, and the other 20,000 as his big blind. Christopher Lee raised from the cutoff, and everyone else folded.

Christopher Lee:  Ah9h7s3s

Kastory woke up with a solid hand, but the board came 10d8d4s8h6d. Lee won the high side with a ten-high straight, and the low side with an 8-6-4 low, to eliminate Kastory in fifth place.

Christopher Lee  –  710,000  (36 bb)
