Timothy English - 5th Place

Timothy English played his hand fast and strong, but in the end he couldn't shake the chip leader, Martin Rowe. It cost him his spot in this tournament.

Rowe opened for 110,000 from under the gun, folding Jason Gray and Tony Basile. English then reraised to 350,000 from the small blind. Once Fazzolari got out of the way, Rowe made the call.

The flop was {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{10-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

{J-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

. English was on unimproved ace-king, {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Diamonds}

. He was ahead, but Rowe had a ton of outs to improve. He hit one on the {J-Clubs}

turn, making a pair of jacks. English missed the river {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

.

English was eliminated in fifth place. AU$140,000 should soften the blow.
