Ray Henson Eliminated in 5th Place ($145,000); Anh Van Nguyen Eliminated in 4th Place ($195,000)
Joe Tehan moved all in from the cutoff and received an immediate call from Anh Van Nguyen on the button. Ray Henson then called all in from the big blind and both he and Nguyen were at risk. The cards were turned up:
Nguyen: 
Tehan: 
Henson: 
Nguyen was ahead and stayed there as the flop came down 
. In order to knock out two opponents, Tehan needed to catch a king or five. Wouldn't you know it, the dealer burned and turned the 
. The crowd erupted in disbelief at what had just happened. Suddenly the two at risk players needed an ace to stay alive and chop with one another. It was not meant to be as the river came the 
and Tehan took down the pot. Just like that, the field went from five to three.
Henson had less chips than Nguyen so he finished in fifth place for $145,000 while Nguyen became the fourth-place finisher and will take home $195,000.
DeMaci's Straight
Chris DeMaci completed from the small blind and Joe Tehan raised to 225,000 from the big blind. DeMaci called and the two saw the flop come 
. Both checked to see the 
fall on the turn. Both checked again and the 
hit the river. DeMaci checked and Tehan checked. DeMaci tabled the 
for a straight and won the pot.
Big Stacks Battle Again
Chris DeMaci raised to 165,000. Joe Tehan wanted to get involved and reraised to 430,000 from the button. Action folded back through the blinds to DeMaci. He looked back at his hand, placed a chip on top of his cards and then riffled some chips before making the call.
The flop came down 
with 1.03 million already in the middle. DeMaci checked the flop and Tehan bet 435,000. DeMaci folded and Tehan won the pot.
Grimes Shoves with Tens
Al Grimes moved all in from under the gun. It worked, everyone folded and Grimes showed two black tens.
Henson Shoves and Wins
Ray Henson raised all in from the button for 795,000. Joe Tehan requested a count from the big blind. He got it, thought for a little bit and then passed. Henson showed the 
.
Big Stacks Collide
Ray Henson was under the gun and raised to 205,000. Chris DeMaci, who was next to act in the cutoff, then reraised to 500,000. Action was then on Joe Tehan on the button and he made it 1,050,000 to go. Both the blinds folded, as did Henson, and action was back on DeMaci. He announced that he was all in for 5.25 million and put the pressure back on Tehan, who thought about it for a minute before releasing. With that, Tehan dropped a million while DeMaci added over 1.3 million to his stack.
Grimes Finds Junk
Anh Van Nguyen raised all in from the small blind, attacking Al Grimes' big blind. Grimes looked down and let everyone know what he picked up. He showed the whopping 
offsuit and folded.
