Erik Roussakis Eliminated in 5th Place ($26,861)

Wow. Erik Roussakis came back from the break as the second biggest stack, and on the second hand back, he was eliminated by Soi Nguyen after a cooler flop. Action started with Roussakis raising to 75,000 in early position. Nguyen defended his big blind, and the two saw a flop of {4-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Spades}.

Nguyen checked to Roussakis, who fired out 100,000. Nguyen grabbed some raising chips, shuffled them for a bit, then tossed in a raise to 230,000. As he has done often throughout the final table, Roussakis acted quickly, and raised it to 500,000. Nguyen let out a small sigh, and announced all in. Roussakis let out a sigh himself before making the call, and we had the biggest pot of the tournament.

Nguyen: {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Roussakis: {5-Spades}{4-Spades}

Nguyen flopped bottom set, but he still had to sweat, as Roussakis could catch a spade. The turn was a black king, but it was the {k-Clubs}. The river was the other black king, the {k-Spades}, and though it gave Roussakis the flush, it also gave Nguyen a full boat.

After that pot, Nguyen is our monster chip leader with over half the chips in play.
