Ryan Stephens Eliminated in 5th Place ($56,464)
Level 39
: Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante
Kelly Gall raised to 4,000,000 from under the gun and Steven Genovese three-bet to 11,000,000 on the button. Ryan Stephens four-bet shoved around 38,000,000 from the big blind and Gall reluctantly gave up his hand.
Back on Genovese, he gave it around a minute of thought before committing a large part of his stack as well.
Ryan Stephens: A♣K♣
Steven Genovese: A♠J♣
Like the previous hand, Genovese held ace-jack but was dominated in by far the largest pot of the tournament thus far. His rail exploded when the dealer fanned out a J♦8♣2♥ for some old-fashioned reverse domination.
It was Stephens needing help now but the kings remained hidden on the 9♠ turn and 9♦ river.
