Philippe Narboni Eliminated in 5th Place ($223,270)

Philippe Narboni - 5th Place
Philippe Narboni - 5th Place
Alain Roy raises first in, pushing out 225,000 chips. Next to act is Philippe Narboni, and he moves all in for an additional 634,000 on top. The other three opponents duck out, and Roy considers briefly before making the call, putting nearly 2,000,000 up for grabs in this pot.

Roy: {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}
Narboni: {K-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}

With Philippe Narboni's tournament life hanging in the balance, he watches what could be his final five community cards: {3-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}. The board does indeed run dry for Narboni, and he bids his table farewell with a smile, notching a fifth place finish. For his efforts over the last four days, he will cash a check for $223,270. Not too shabby.
