Nicholas Tsoukalas Eliminated in 5th Place ($29,384)
Limits: 80,000-160,000
Andrew Beversdorf chose to raise when he was folded to on the cutoff, and action got back round to Nicholas Tsoulakas in the big blind. He decided to defend.
Tsoulakas then checked the Q♦A♥8♥ flop over to Beversdorf, who went for a continuation-bet. Tsoulakas had sprung the trap, though, and check-raised. The players clearly couldn't wait to get their stacks in, as Beversdorf three-bet, Tsoulakas four-bet, and Beversdorf maxed it out with another raise. Tsoulakas had no choice but to call.
On the 9♠ turn, Tsoulakas bet, leaving himself only a single 5,000 denomination chip behind. Beversdorf then went all in, only covering Tsoulakas by 5,000, and was called, as Tsoulakas said "we might have the same hand"
Nicholas Tsoulakas: J♥6♥ 
Andrew Beversdorf: A♦Q♥
Tsoulakas missed his draws on the 4♣ river, and exited the tournament area.
