Tommy Vedes - 5th Place

Oh boy. Pots are huge now and swings are big -- big enough to knock players out. Mathieu Jacqmin raised to 90,000 preflop and was called by Tommy Vedes from the button. On a flop of {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{8-Hearts}

, Jacqmin checked to Vedes, who bet 225,000. Jacqmin then check-raised all in and Vedes called.

Jacqmin: {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{8-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

Vedes:

{k-Diamonds}

{q-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{10-Diamonds}

There would be no joy for Vedes. He paired nines with the turn {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

, but missed all of his outs on the {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

river. When the stacks were counted down, Jacqmin just barely had Vedes covered. Vedes was therefore eliminated.
