Michael Ryan Eliminated in 4th Place (AUD$450,000)

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante
Michael Ryan - 4th Place
Michael Ryan - 4th Place

Hand #142: Michael Ryan opened to 155,000 from under the gun only to have Jeff Rossiter three-bet to 430,000 from the small blind.

Ryan cut down the allotted chips to make the call, before cutting down the remainder of his stack - most likely in an effort to get an exact count on his stack.

After nearly a minute, Ryan pushed out 850,000 and Rossiter instantly moved all in to put Ryan at risk for roughly his further 1,200,000.

"I call!" announced Ryan he took to his feet to watch what fate the deck would deliver.

Ryan: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Rossiter: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

With Ryan at risk, the {Q-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop kept him in the lead, and as the {2-Spades} landed on the turn, all he would need to do is fade an ace or king to sky-rocket back over the average stack.

Just like what happened to Randy Dorfman earlier, a cruel ace on the river would end Ryan's tournament when the {A-Spades} was delivered by the dealer to send Ryan out in fourth place for an AUD$450,000 payday as Rossiter soars to 6,900,000 in chips.
