"EEE27" Eliminated in 5th Place ($70,844)

Level 30 : 125,000/250,000, 32,500 ante

With short stack Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle in the big blind, chip leader "zazano" min-raised to 500,000 in the cutoff and Finland's "EEE27" three-bet jammed for 5,364,052 in the small blind. Rolle let go and "zazano" made the call.

"EEE27": {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
"zazano": {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}

The {j-Spades}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop left "EEE27" in desperate shape but he picked up one chop outs on the {a-Diamonds} turn. A blank {4-Spades} followed on the river and that spelled the end for "EEE27" in 5th place for $70,844.30.

Level 30 : 125,000/250,000, 32,500 ante

Right after the field was reduced to the final four, Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle was at risk with {a-Spades}{q-Spades} against the {7-Spades}{7-Clubs} of Joel "Odonkor1" Nordkvist and kept his hopes of the SCOOP title alive on a {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{10-Spades} river.

However, two orbits later both clashed again and Rolle min-raised the button to 500,000 out of a stack of 3.1 million. Nordkvist jammed the small blind and Rolle quickly caleld.
