Huicun Qiao Eliminated in 5th Place ($55,340)
Huicun Qiao is gone in 5th place after being eliminated by Eric Varela.
Preflop, Varela limped under the gun for 40,000. Ingles called in the small blind, and Qiao checked his big blind.
Fireworks started flying on the 
flop though. Qiao immediately moved all in for around his last 650,000. Varela didn't take long to make the call. Ingles quickly folded and it was off to showdown.
Varela: 
Qiao: 
They had both flopped top pair, but Varela had flopped top two pair, while Qiao had outs to a gut-shot straight.
The turn was the 
providing no extra outs and the river 
was also no help for Qiao. "I thought my top pair was good," he said after the hand.
He left the tournament area, but not before collecting his $55,340 for 5th place.
