How Stacked is the Final Six?

With so many other events going on around the world that are attracting big names and spreading fields thin, this final table was pretty packed with talent. Taking a look at the final six, there's plenty to talk about here.

Diego Sanchez has over $82,000 in live winnings highlighted by a PCA Main Event cash and a side-event win at LAPT Punta del Este. Brock Parker holds over $1.3 million in earnings along with not one, but two gold WSOP bracelets. He also has four WSOP final-table appearances and 17 WSOP cashes. Steve O'Dwyer has over half a million dollars in live winnings and seven WSOP cashes. His best finish was an 8th place in last year's WSOP Heads-Up Championship.

Andrew Lichtenberger cashed five times last year at the WSOP and made a big splash in the Main Event where he finished in 18th place for over $500,000. He has nearly $1 million in career earnings.

Dan Casetta has just shy of $235,000 in live winnings and took down the 11th Annual Battle of the Bay for a cool $100,000 score. James Carroll is known as "croll103" online and has over $1.1 million in earnings in that realm.

Chewy Still Running Good

Andrew Lichtenberger is having a very good day. Sitting in the blinds, he called a raise to 40,000 made by Steve O'Dwyer. Both players checked when the flop came down {J-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}. Lichtenberger bet 54,000 on the {6-Diamonds} turn, with O'Dwyer calling behind him. Action on the {7-Clubs} river went check, check.

Lichtenberger turned over two tens, {10-Spades} {10-Hearts}, to collect the pot with jacks and tens. "Run better," joked Eric Froehlich from the rail.

On the second hand back from break, Andrew Lichtenberger opened from middle position for 40,000. James Carroll, seated to his immediate left, re-raised to 100,000. When the action came to small blind Brock Parker, Parker moved all in for roughly 450,000. Neither Lichtenberger nor Carroll wanted to play for that price.

Andrew Lichtenberger had raised the button and Steve O'Dwyer called from the big blind. The flop came down {K-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and both O'Dwyer and Lichtenberger checked.

After the {5-Spades} hit the turn, O'Dwyer took the lead and bet 58,000. Lichtenberger got a count on the bet and then made the call.

The river was the {J-Clubs} and O'Dwyer fired again, this time a bit bigger for 140,000. Lichtenberger mucked his hand and O'Dwyer raked the pot.

Another Big Pot to Lichtenberger

Andrew Lichtenberger keeps acquiring chips. His latest victim was Brock Parker. Parker opened the action pre-flop to 28,000 and was called by Lichtenberger and James Carroll out of the blinds. All three players checked an ace-high flop, {9-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {k-Diamonds}.

Lichtenberger, acting first, led out for 60,000 when the turn fell {4-Diamonds}. That was enough to fold Carroll, but Parker called to see the board pair on the river, {K-Hearts}. Lichtenberger, undeterred, fired another 137,000 at Parker. Parker didn't take long to call and was surprised to see Lichtenberger turn over the nut flush, {A-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}. Parker picked up his cards, held them in front of his face, and then threw them face down into the muck.
