Jamil Wakil Eliminated in 5th Place ($670,000)
Jamil Wakil limped from the small blind and Jesse Lonis checked his option from the big blind.
The dealer burned a card and put out the flop of 5♠K♥3♠, which got a check from Wakil. Lonis bet 750,000, and Wakil continued with a call.
Wakil check-called another bet from Lonis on the 7♥ turn, this time for 1,800,000.
A 5♥ rolled off on the river, causing Wakil to check for the last time. Lonis took a few moments, then jammed for Wakil's stack of 11,300,000.
Wakil was visibly distressed by his situation, and burned through the majority of his time banks thinking it over. In the end, he slammed in the call.
Lonis flipped over the winning hand with 4♥2♥ for a straight draw that backed into a flush. Wakil tabled A♥K♣ for a pair of kings and headed to the cashier's desk to collect his fifth-place payout.
