Mike Wattel Eliminated in 5th Place ($186,250); Salvatore Bonavena Eliminated in 4th Place ($254,777)

Mike Wattel- 5th Place
Mike Wattel- 5th Place

Mike Wattel moved all in from under the gun for 685,000 and immediately after Salvatore Bonavena pushed all in over the top for 915,000. Bryan Porter also moved all in and pushed out the other players.

Porter: {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}
Bonavena: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Wattel: {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}

The {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop kept Porter firmly in the lead. The {6-Hearts} on the turn changed nothing and neither did the {4-Diamonds} on the river. Porter's jacks held and he eliminated two opponents in one hand. Since Bonavena started the hand with more chips than Wattel, he will finish in fourth place while Wattel finishes in fifth.
