Roberto Bianchi Eliminated in 5th Place ($61,160)

Roberto Bianchi - 5th Place
Roberto Bianchi - 5th Place

Martin Sansour opened with a raise, and only Roberto Bianchi came along from the big blind. It was red hood against red hood to the {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{8-Clubs} flop. Bianchi checked, then quickly called Sansour's 70,000-chip bet. After the {6-Spades} turn, Bianchi checked again. This time, Sansour bet 100,000, and Bianchi took his time considering his response. After a minute, he decided on a call.

That's when things got crazy. The river was the {q-Spades}, pairing the board. Bianchi instantly moved all in. And Sansour couldn't have called any faster. Oops. Bianchi held {3-Spades}{3-Clubs} for the second nut-low two pair. Sansour showed {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, having flopped the nut straight.

In one shocking minute, Bianchi went from second in chips to out in fifth place, and Sansour went from chip leader to having the rest of the table combined twice over with around 3.5 million.
