Eric Wasserson Eliminated in 5th Place ($211,068)
Eric Wasserson was forced to go all-in as he had 130,000, which was less than the mandatory big blind.
Sam Soverel opened the action with a limp from under the gun. Daniel Vicente came along from the small blind with a limp, and Wasserson was committed and at risk as Soverel and Vicente played for a side pot.
The J♣6♣A♣ flop led to a check from Vicente. Soverel bet 160,000, and Vicente called.
Vicente checked the 7♥ turn. Soverel sized up to 900,000, and Vicente wasted little time putting out the call.
The K♥ river resulted in another check from Vicenete. Soverel announced all-in and put Vicente in the tank. Vicente gave the spot considerable thought, but ultimately decided on a fold.
Soverel showed K♣8♥ for a pair of kings. Wasserson revealed 10♦10♥, which was not enough to overcome the better pair of Soverel.
Wasserson earned $211,068 for his fifth-place finish.
