Carlos Loving (Sarasota, FL) reached his first final table since last year's Isle Poker Open, just finishing in fourth place for $4,495.

Carlos Loving (Sarasota, FL) was short stacked for most of the final table, but ended up coming from behind against Elliot Zaydman, doubling to a manageable stack.  Moments ago, Loving shoved for 1,100,000 from the button, with Mitchell Smith re-shoving (for over 6,000,000) from the small blind.  Eric Mutschler folded his big blind, and the hands were tabled:

Loving: K♦ J♣
Smith: A♣ 10♠

Runout: Q♥ 9♦ 3♠ 2♦ 5♣

Loving wasn't in terrible shape when the cards were rolled over, and ended up flopping some extra equity.  He asked the dealer to give Smith a pair of tens, but ended up seeing no cards higher than a five on the turn or river.  Loving ended up earning $4,495 for his fourth place finish, while Smith collect yet another pot (and sits with over half of the chips in play).
