Pontus Kers - 5th Place

All in players that are called have not fared well today. Pontus Kers moved all in for 360,000 total after Darkhan Botabayev opened the pot to 100,000. Botabayev decided to gamble and called with {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

{7-Diamonds}

; Kers didn't have much but was ahead with {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{6-Spades}

. It all changed on a flop of {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

{9-Hearts}

{A-Diamonds}

, with Botabayev pairing nines to take a stranglehold on the pot.

But what's an all in without a good sweat? The turn {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

put two spades on board, giving Kers a flush draw to go with his draw at a pair of kings. With everyone in the gallery leaning in towards the table, the dealer burned and turned a black card -- but it was the {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

. Kers was eliminated in 5th place, taking home $114,464.
