Melanie Banfield just doubled up, but she couldn't last much longer after that. She got her money in with pocket fives against the {K-Hearts} {4-Hearts} of Andrew Brussard. The board ran out {Q-Hearts} {J-Spades} {J-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {8-Spades} and Banfield's pair was counterfeited. Brussard's king kicker played and he went Banfield to the rail.

Brussard is on 80,000 chips now.
