Andrew Barfield
Andrew Barfield finished fifth in Event #13 last night, earning $20,201.

A player raised UTG+1 to 3,200, Armando Figueroa called from the cutoff, Event #13 champion Hasan Hakim called from the small blind, and Andrew Barfield moved all in from the big blind for 25,800.

The UTG+1 player four-bet it to 53,200, and Figueroa called all in for 36,700. Hakim folded.

These were their cards, in descending order of chip counts:

UTG+1:  AdKd
Armando Figueroa:  QsQc
Andrew Barfield:  8h7h

The board came 4s4h2c3c3d — the UTG+1 player turned a gutshot straight draw, but improved no further. The pocket queens held up for Figueroa to win the entire pot, doubling thru the UTG+1 player and eliminating Barfield.

Armando Figueroa  –  103,600  (86 bb)
