Chris Baumhoer Eliminated in 5th Place ($20,272)

Kirk Brown

Level 27 : 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

Chris Baumhoer opened to 300,000 and then Todd Tucker three-bet him to 1,100,000. After a lengthy pause, Baumhoer pushed all in and Tucker made the call to put him at risk.

Chris Baumhoer: 4♥4♠
Todd Tucker: K♥Q♣

Baumhoer was a slight favorite with his pocket pair, but the flop of K♣2♣6♦ immediately gave Tucker the upper hand as he paired his king. The runout of A♦9♥ did not provide the four Baumhoer needed and he was sent out in fifth place.

McFeely Misreads Hand to Double Tucker

Kirk Brown

Level 28 : Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

On a turn board of 9♥6♠K♠4♠, Todd Tucker bet 1,000,000 and then David McFeely moved all in, covering him.

Tucker let out a deep sigh and tossed in a chip to call, putting himself at risk.

"Oh no! I misread my hand!" McFeely put his head in his hands as he flipped over K♣5♦ while Tucker tabled K♦Q♠.

The river was the 9♦ to secure the pot for Tucker and he was pushed most of McFeely's stack for a huge lead.

Player	Chips	Progress
Todd Tucker	13,200,000 6,200,000	6,200,000
David McFeely	3,400,000 -5,900,000	-5,900,000

David McFeely Eliminated in 2nd Place ($49,098)

Kirk Brown

Level 28 : Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

The board read 6♣7♣10♦7♦ when David McFeely led out for 200,000 and Todd Tucker raised to 500,000. McFeely then moved all in and Tucker snap-called to put him at risk.

David McFeely: K♣J♣
Todd Tucker: 10♣7♦

With an already-made full house, Tucker had McFeely already drawing stone dead and the 5♣ on the river was just adding insult to injury as McFeely hit his flush.

McFeely's stack was shipped over to Tucker and the two players shook hands before McFeeley headed to the payout desk as the runner-up.
