Derek Browning Eliminated in 6th Place ($53,675)

We're down to five in the WSOPC Choctaw Main Event after Abraham Araya found a creative way to crack Derek Browning's aces and send him home 6th.

The hand began with a 135k bet from Daniel Lowery. Araya called on the button, but Browning decided to make it 400k from the small blind. Both Lowery and Araya called and after the {j-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop, Browning pushed.

Lowery quickly got out of the way, but Araya made the call with {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. Browning's aces were ahead, but after the {8-Diamonds} gave Araya an up and down straight draw as well, Browning's demise seemed inevitable.

Sure enough, the {9-Hearts} on the river gave Araya the flush and while Browning exited 6th, Araya pushed over the 13-million chip mark.
