After making fourth last night this was the second final table in a row for Todd Anthony.

This time he exited seventh after running into the Chris Harker machine. They got it in preflop with Anthony on the {4-Clubs}{4-Spades} and Harker the {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}. No surprises on the {10-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades}{8-Hearts} ads Harker made a flush to bounce Anthony.

Harker leads big time with six left.

Chris Harker now has a big lead and Joe Malec is out after Harker flopped quad fives and slyly check-called until Malec was out of chips.

Malec had top pair and fired away after checks from Harker on the flop and turn, ultimately getting it in drawing dead.
