Nicolas Levi Eliminated in 5th Place ($92,543)

Nicolas Levi slipped a bit early, but had a prime opportunity to double up through another short-stacked player; Joshua Tieman.

Unfortunately for him, it wasn't in the cards.

Tieman opened to 60,000 and the action folded to Levi who three-bet to 189,000 in the big blind. Tieman four-bet to 465,000, Levi moved all-in and Tieman made the call:

Tieman: {8-Clubs} {8-Spades}
Levi: {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds}

The dealer wrapped the table, dealt three cards face down and then fanned them out: {8-Diamonds} {5-Spades} {4-Spades} .

Levi's rail groaned at the two-outer. He now needed running spades or another jack for the win or the board to straighten for a chop.

The {A-Clubs} on the turned ruined any chances of a flush or straight, and the {2-Clubs} on the river ended it all for Levi. He will have to settle with a 5th place finish and $92,543.
