Benjamin Smith Eliminated in 4th Place ($193,418)

Benjamin Smith was down to just several hundred thousand when he made his move, but when the chips went in he found himself in need of divine assistance with {A-Spades}{4-Hearts} versus the {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} of Michael Linn.

Sadly for the American, the Poker Gods had their fingers in their ears and were singing "lalalala" as the board came {5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} to send him out in fourth place. Still, a mighty fine performance, and one that has earned him $193,418, which should put bread on the table for a few weeks at least.

Michael Linn, on the other hand, could be eating caviar for years to come as he now has 3,800,000 in chips and is second to only Taylor Larkin who has 4,600,000.
