Hani Awad Eliminated in 5th Place ($53,321)
Stud 8/b
Awad: / / (X)
Barbieri: / / (X)
At these limits, short stacks can find themselves all in very, very quickly. Hani Awad completed on third street and was called by Al Barbieri. Barbieri bet after Awad checked fourth street, with Awad making the call. Awad moved all in on fifth street and Barbieri was right there to take him on Barbieri showed a pair of fours and a low draw; Awad had only ace-high. Sixth street gave Awad a pair of deuces, with no low draw; Barbieri made trip fours. At that point Awad was drawing dead. He didn't even look at his river card.
Awad leaves with $53,386. We're down to four players.
