Jeff Fielder Eliminated in 5th Place ($50,321)
Well, this was a sick hand.
Action started with Bill Criego raising to 200,000. Kevin Calenzo was next to act and he shoved all in for 1.2 million. Jeff Fielder was in the small blind and he reshoved all in for 1.5 million! Sean Getzwiller quickly got out of the way and it was back to Criego. He tanked for about 90 seconds, during which he found out that he had both players covered.
Finally, he said, "Well I have to call"!
The three players flipped up their cards and Criego was in great shape to take down a massive pot.
Criego: 
Calenzo: 
Fielder: 
If Criego could dodge an ace or a nine, he would send us to three-handed play, as well as giving him the chip lead. He did so on the flop, coming 
. However, Calenzo spiked the 
on the turn, rocketing him into the lead. Criego would need a king or a ten to win the pot, while Fielder was still looking for a nine. The river brought the 
and Calenzo tripled up, while Fielder was sent to the rail.
