Sebastian Winkler Eliminated in 5th Place ($150,667)

Action folded to Yevgeniy Timoshenko in the cutoff who raised to 120,000. Simon Charette then moved all in on the button and Sebastian Winkler did likewise from the small blind. Timoshenko got out of the way and the other two were all in with very similarly sized stacks.

Charette: {a-Spades} {j-Clubs}
Winkler: {a-Diamonds} {k-Hearts}

The flop brought good news for Charette when it came {j-Spades} {7-Spades} {7-Hearts} . Winkler was going to need help to catch back up. The turn and river were the {6-Clubs} and {4-Hearts} which were of no help and Charette won the hand.

The stacks were so close in size that both had to be counted down to figure out which was the larger of the two. After all the chips were counted Charette had Winkler covered by a mere 30,000 chips and Winkler was eliminated in fifth place.
