Bertrand Grospellier had the bring-in and Daniel Negreanu completed. One player called, as did Grospellier before all three players checked fourth. Grospellier fired out 2,400 on fifth after it was checked to him, and that was enough to win the pot.

Bill Munley made his way to the PokerNews desk to inform us that he had been eliminated.
"I'm out kid!" stated a saddened Munley.
Explaining that he started with aces and made aces-up, he would run into his opponent's trip tens by fifth street. Unable to spike an ace or a seven, Munley was eliminated and found his way over to the PokerNews blogging desk.
However before Munley made his way off the tournament floor he had a message for his boys back home, "tell them I'm on my way back to Kansas and the HOSE game at Mohegan Sun Poker Nose Down!"
