6th Place - John Lakatosh

It had been a good 25 minutes since a river card came out on the final table. If Brian Hastings wasn't big-stack bullying everyone else out of the hand pre-flop or if another player wasn't going all-in pre-flop without getting a call, it was a flop and immediate raise that ended the hand.

But when the river finally did come, it was quite cruel to John Lakatosh.

John O'Brien pre-flop raised to 75,000, which Lakatosh called. After the 10♦ 5♣ 2♦ flop, Lakatosh pushed all-in and O'Brien immediately called.

Lakatosh: 2x 2x     O'Brien: J♦ J♣

Turn: K♥
River: J♠

O'Brien hit a two-outer on the river, nearly doubling up to 750,000 and sending Lakatosh home in 6th place with $16,338.
