"pure_reason" Eliminated in 5th Place ($4,070)

"pure_reason" came oh so close to back-to-back titles, but his end in this Main Event came to a rather brutal ending. In this hand, "MyCousinVinny5" raised to 400,000, and "pure_reason" would three bet it to just 1,440,000. Back to "MyCousinVinny5", he would shove all in with pocket nines, and "pure_reason" would call with pocket jacks.

A nine would come right on the flop, and "pure_reason" was unable to hit a two outer himself. This extends "MyCousinVinny5" lead even more, as he has over half of the chips in play.
