10th Place - Fred Jafarzadeh ($5,311)

Down to his final 137,500, at least John O'Brien was able to find a good hand to push all-in with.

He got a call from Charles Welch, and everyone else folded pre-flop to reveal a battle of pocket pairs.

Welch: Jx Jx     O'Brien: Qx Qx

Flop: Qx Ax 2x
Turn: 4x
River: Jx

Pretty painful for Welch to finally make a set while drawing dead after going quite some time without winning any big pots.

Both players are still well below the chip average, but O'Brien does have some chips to play with again.

Two hands later, Fred Jafarzadeh - now the shortest stack at the table - pushed all-in to no avail and left the room in 10th place. He'll take home $5,311.
