Cary Katz was left short, and a few hands after losing a big all in to Stephen Chidwick, Katz reraised his remaining stack blind with just about four big blinds.
Chidwick called the remaining stack holding [As8stc4h] against the [AcJsJd3d] of Katz.
The board ran out [Ts3c2s5d6c], giving Chidwick a wheel and leaving Katz only drawing to a chop on the river. Katz couldn’t find the chop and was eliminated in second place. This is back-to-back runner-up finishes for Katz who is now firmly in third place in the overall USPO standings.
