Tommy Vinas Eliminated in 5th Place ($150,453)
Jarred Solomon raised to 70,000 under the gun and Tommy Vinas looked him up from the button. Solomon led right out with a 75,000 bet on the 
flop, which Vinas raised to 275,000. Solomon thought for a moment before announcing, "Pot." The three-bet was for a huge 735,000!
Vinas didn't take long before moving all in for a couple hundred thousand more and Solomon made the call.
Solomon:
Vinas: 
It was a brutal set-over-set flop that saw Vinas on the bad end of things. "Spade, spade," Vinas pleaded as he looked to his rail in resignation. The turn ensured that there would be no chop. It was down to the river for Vinas, who needed the case seven to stay alive. The 
was close, but not quite what he needed. Vinas was eliminated in fifth place and will take home $150,453 for his efforts.
