    Dean Hamrick - 5th Place
    Dean Hamrick - 5th Place

    Dean Hamrick Eliminated in 5th Place ($132,380)

    A brave Dean Hamrick raised it up to 150,000 into the big blind of Panayote 'Pete' Vilandos, who continued his uber-aggressive streak by moving all in. Hamrick thought for a while and then called off his last 980,000.

    Panayote -- {9-Clubs} {9-Spades}
    Hamrick -- {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}

    The board came {7-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {7-Clubs}.

    It was over by the turn and Hamrick leaves stage left. Panayote up to 5 million now.

    Relentless

    The very next hand Panayote 'Pete' Vilandos raised it up and was called by Dean Hamrick before the flop came {J-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {2-Spades}. Vilandos led out for 205,000 and was called before he bet 475,000 on the {8-Hearts} turn. Too much for Hamrick and he folds.

    Pete Keeps Up the Aggression

    Despite losing that last pot, Panayote 'Pete' Vilandos keeps up the aggression by three betting Andy Seth. After he's called, he fires a large bet on the flop which makes Seth lay it down.

    Things are heating up here.

    Greco Finds a Hand; Promptly Doubles

    Michael Greco raised to a barely-over-the-minimum 130,000 and Pete Vilandos called him from the big blind.

    Flop: {3-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {K-Spades}

    Vilandos checked and Greco bet 200,000. Call.

    Turn: {9-Hearts}

    Vilandos checked again and now Greco made it 250,000 to go -- only for Vilandos to announce all in to cover Greco. Greco now had a real decision -- he wandered off for a moment, then came back to the table and stared at Vilandos for some time.

    Then he called for his last 500,000.

    Vilandos: {K-Diamonds} {10-Spades}
    Greco: {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}

    "Hold! HOOLLLLLDDD!" pleaded the Greco railers (Mr Hougaard was allowed back in at the break).

    River: {2-Diamonds}

    Greco doubles to over 2 million.

    High Card Wins

    Andy Seth raised from UTG and was called by Panayote 'Pete' Vilandos and Michael Greco in the BB before the flop came {6-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {2-Spades}.

    Seth continued his aggression with a 220,000 bet and only Greco called. The turn {5-Hearts} and river {3-Diamonds} is checked through. Seth takes it with {K-Spades} {J-Hearts} high as Greco can only show a busted flush draw with {J-Spades} {10-Spades}.

    Blind On Blind Almost-Action

    It folded around to Dean Hamrick in the small blind who raised to 180,000; after a pause, Glenn McCaffrey called in the big.

    It didn't go much beyond that, though -- Hamrick bet out 250,000 on the {Q-Clubs} {2-Spades} {10-Diamonds} flop, and McCaffrey swiftly passed.

    Limped Pot

    A rare limped pot saw Andy Seth and Panayote 'Pete' Vilandos go to a {J-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} flop. Seth leads out for 70,000 and is called by Panayote before the {3-Spades} comes on the turn. A 220,000 pot from Seth was enough to end it there.

    Greco's Got Chips

    Glenn McCaffrey raised to 135,000, but Michael Greco made it 470,000 -- by the by, this is the first time that Greco has had enough chips to make a reraise that is not all in. McCaffrey thought better of the whole thing, and laid it down.

    Pete Gets Down to Business

    As if he has only just noticed that he is massive chip leader, Pete Vilandos has perked up. First he pushed Glenn McCaffrey off a pot by reraising to half a million to McCaffrey's 150,000. Then he raised two hands in a row and picked up the blinds each time. The break seems to have made him aggressive...
