Jesse White opened the action with a raise to 175,000 on the button. Brian Burney re-raised all in for about 750,000 from the small blind and Mary Harden snap called from the big blind. White folded 
face up and the other hands were revealed.
Harden: 
Burney: 
Burney was in need of some help and found it when the flop came down 
. However, Harden had outs to a flush to score the knockout. The 
turn card kept Burney ahead, but the 
popped off on the river to send Burney to the rail in fourth place for $49,759.
With the lull of action, Tournament Director Jimmy Sommerfield has decided to get on the mic and attempt to pump up the crowd a bit. It seems to be working as Sommerfield polled the audience on who they want to win and who they think will win. The energy in the final table area picked up as a result, which is needed considering the lack of action.
Brian Burney raised to 175,000 from the cutoff and Sam Barnhart responded with a reraise to 330,000 from the small blind. Burney called and the pair watched the flop fall 
. Barnhart bet out 500,000 and Burney folded. The former is up to 2.6 million while the latter dropped to 1.1 million.
Jesse White raised to to 175,000 on the button only to have Brian Burney move all in from the small blind for 555,000 more. White made the call and the cards were turned up:
Burney: 
White: 
Burney was in great shape to double and did just that after the board ran out 
. He is up to 1.59 million while White dropped to 1.66 million.

Once again, the action has ceased. Raise and take, raise and take, that is the story of the last ten minutes. With action being four-handed, someone will likely step up the aggression soon enough.
Action folded to Sam Barnhart on the button and he raised to 250,000. Jesse White was next to act and he moved all in for 1.355 million total. Barnhart reluctantly folded as White showed 
.
"Whew," Barnhart sighed as he explained to the rest of the table that he folded pocket eights.
Mary Harden opened to 130,000 on the button and Sam Barnhart called from the small blind. Jesse White shoved from the big blind for 1,630,000 and forced quick folds from the others.
