Fifth-Place Finisher

5th for $67,867
5th for $67,867
Teddy "Iceman" Monroe has left us in fifth place after playing a great short stack game for nearly two days.

Jimmy Shultz accidently raised from under the gun thinking he was putting in the big blind. Monroe called all in for 30,000 from the small blind and Brendan Taylor called the raise from the big blind.

The flop came...{2-Hearts} {10-Spades} {9-Hearts} and both players checked so we head to the turn...

{8-Hearts}

Checked again so straight to the river...

{J-Spades}

Shultz went to bet but Taylor mucked. Jimmy flipped over ...

{7-Spades} {8-Spades}

Which was good for the pot and enough to thaw the Iceman.
