Event 4: Greg Drobnis Eliminated in 5th Place ($3,667)

Greg Drobnis - 5th Place
Greg Drobnis - 5th Place

Joseph Astorina raised to 80,000 from the cutoff, and Greg Drobnis pushed his last 100,000 from the small blind. The big blind folded, and Astorina made the call.

Astorina: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{q-Spades}
Drobnis: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

The two held similar hands, and the {9-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} flop gave each a pair, though Drobnis held the lead with kings. The turn was a {5-Diamonds}.

"No diamond," Drobnis said, not realizing Astorina now had jacks up. An {8-Clubs} fell on the river, and Drobnis thought for a fleeting moment he'd doubled up until Astorina pointed out his two pair. Instead, Drobnis is out.
