Players Still Tight

Level 31 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

After the Sabat elimination, the remaining four players have yet to go to a flop. It looks as if it's going to be all in or nothing at this point.

Eddy Sabat Eliminated in 5th Place ($160,949)

Level 31 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Eddy Sabat 5th Place
Eddy Sabat 5th Place

Eddy Sabat has been eliminated in fifth place. But as No Limit Hold'em goes it was the second to last hand that virtually eliminated him. Thomas Miller moved all in from the small blind and Sabat called from the big blind. Miller turned over {J-Hearts} {10-Spades} and Sabat held {A-Diamonds} {7-Clubs}. The board ran {2-Hearts} {3-Spades} {5-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {3-Clubs} and Miller took the hand by pairing his ten. When the stacks were counted Sabat had only 70,000 more than Miller -- less than one big blind.

The next hand Sabat was the small blind and tossed in the remaining 20,000. Tom Middleton was holding {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} and Sabat held {K-Clubs} {7-Spades}. The board ran {J-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {2-Spades} {9-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} and Sabat was eliminated.
