Crncic: {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}
Kelkar: {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

Crncic found joy on the {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop. He filled up as the {7-Diamonds} hit the turn and Kelkar's only hope was to make a straight flush on the river. Fifth street was the {5-Diamonds}, however, and he was eliminated in 17th place. Crncic is now sitting on about 1.85 million in chips.
