Dan Gerard Eliminated in 5th Place ($25,425)
After open-shoving three times in the last five, claiming uncontested pots each time to add more than a million chips to his stack without seeing a flop, Dan Gerard tried the power play one too many times.
Nicholas Immekus opened for a raise of 500,000 and once again Gerard slowly slid his entire stack forward without saying a word. This time, however, rather than forcing a fold, Gerard ran smack dab into the 
held by Immekus.
"That's not good..." said Gerard when he heard the authoritative snap call. "A flush would be good I guess."
Rather than bringing diamonds to the board, the 
flop paired Gerard up. The 
on the turn provided eight additional outs to a chop, as either a deuce or seven would result in a split pot with players playing the straight on board.
River: 
Gerard's miracle card failed to arrive, and he went around the table shaking hands with his former tablemates before heading the payout desk to collect a $25,425 payout. Immekus, meanwhile, chipped back up to over 10 million after falling back a bit during the last level.
