Brent Butler was down to 50,000 chips. He got them all in preflop with {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{8-Spades}

and was called by Owen Crowe, who showed a pocket pair of fives, {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{5-Spades}

. Butler didn't hit the flop or turn, {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{J-Spades}

{7-Clubs}

{k-Clubs}

. That left him looking for an ace or an eight on the river. Instead it was a tournament-ending {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

, making a set of fives for Crowe to rub some salt in the wound of Butler's elimination from the Main Event just short of the money.
