Event 8: 5th Place - McKenna

 $350 + $50 Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)

Jeremiah McKenna (Norwalk, CT)

$6,813

Jeremiah McKenna came to the final table third in chips, but couldn't get anything going and is out in 5th place.  

"I was getting eaten up by the blinds," says McKenna who now has two final tables in the series.  "I got no cards at the final table."

McKenna is down to 225k when he's all in against Mike Dentale and Mike Shasho. The board is 10 6 8 4, when Dentale bets into a dry side pot and gets Shasho to fold.

McKenna: A 9

Dentale A 8

The river bricks and Dentale knocks McKenna out with a pair of eights. 

"I feel pretty good," says the poker pro who finished 7th in Event 7, Deep Stack Semi Turbo ($1,497).  "It's better than a ham sandwich," he jokes about his 5th place finish for $6,813.
