Huu Vinh was just eliminated in fifth place at the hands of Andy Bloch. He took home $26,813 for his finish.

Bloch: {x-}{x-} / {K-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{3-Hearts} / {x-}
Vinh: {x-}{x-} / {J-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{7-Spades} / {x-}

Vinh completed the bet on third and Bloch raised. Vinh called and then called a bet from Bloch on fourth. On fifth street, Bloch bet and Vinh raised. Bloch paused.

"How much do you have behind?" Bloch asked Vinh.

Vinh spread his hands so Bloch could see and said, "Send me home, I'm ready to go home." He had 51,000 behind.

Bloch took another minute to think, then fired back with a reraise. Vinh reraised and Bloch just called. On sixth street, Vinh picked up a pair of sevens and bet his last 11,000. Bloch called.

"I have three pair," said Vinh as he showed the {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs} from the hole. Bloch held the {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs} in the hole.

On seventh street, Bloch pulled the {K-Diamonds} and that gave him aces and kings. Vinh now needed to improve to stay alive with a queen, jack or seven. He pulled the {2-Clubs}, though, and was eliminated in fifth place.

We missed the exact action, but according to a fellow reporter, Williams got the remainder of his stack in the middle with a gut-shot straight draw on fifth street. Stephen Su, who had him at risk, had two pair, and both players bricked on sixth. On seventh, Su flipped his card over immediately, and filled up. Williams was drawing dead, and threw his hands in the air.

Williams was unable to ship his second bracelet today, but banks $36,470 for his efforts.
