Big Stax 500 (Day 3): 12th Place - Csik ($5,010)

Level 26 (Blinds 25,000/50,000/5,000)
Players Remaining: 11
Chip Average: 3,350,000

Chris Csik (Hoboken, NJ)

With the elimination of Aristedes Santana, Chris Csik (Hoboken, NJ) would be left the shortest stack remaining (570,000).  Action would fold all the way around to Csik in the small blind, and he shoved his remaining chips, only having to get through Deding Xu.  Xu would look over at the amount Csik had, and announced the call:

Xu: A♥ 7♦
Csik: Q♠ 6♠

Flop: 2♣ 9♦ A♦
Turn: 7♣
River: Q♥

Deding flopped super strong against Csik's hand, and Chris would be drawing dead on the turn.  The other players at the table complemented him on his play before he walked away, as he falls short of his second Big Stax final table.  Xu becomes the chip leader with that pot, stacking up 5,400,000.  Players are now one elimination away from the final table, which is ten-handed for these trophy events.
