Aaron Virchis eliminated in 5th place

With the action folding round to John-Paul Kelly in the small blind, he min-raised to 32,000 with Aaron Virchis making the call.

Kelly casually tossed out two green 25,000-denomination chips to effectively put Virchis all in on the flop of {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

{10-Diamonds}

.

Virchis looked at his now 43,000-chip stack and decided to make the call for his tournament life.

Virchis: {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{8-Hearts}

Kelly:

{A-Clubs}

{4-Diamonds}

Needing to hit a King or Eight to stay alive, the turn and river of the {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

and

{A-Hearts}

would see Virchis hit the rail in 5th place for a payday of $40,048.
