Mark Radoja Eliminated in 5th Place ($102,725)

Level 30 : 30,000/60,000, 7,500 ante

The action folded around to chipleader Bert Stevens in the small blind and he elected to move his entire stack into the middle. Mark Radoja snap-called from the big blind for his 1,248,587 and the two turned over their hands.

Mark Radoja: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Bert Stevens: {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The flop again favored Stevens when {j-Spades}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades} fell on the virtual felt, giving Stevens the unlikely lead. A {q-Spades} turn left Radoja with one card to survive but the {q-Hearts} river was not it and he was eliminated by Stevens in fifth place.

Level 30 : 30,000/60,000, 7,500 ante

Isaac Haxton: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Bert Stevens: {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

The flop came down {10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades} and Stevens again out flopped an opponent. An {a-Clubs} turn and {7-Diamonds} river changed not a thing and Stevens scooped the pot, eliminating Haxton from the tournament in sixth place.

Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier Eliminated in 9th Place ($35,354)

Level 28 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Sami Kelopuro opened to 97,200 from the cutoff and GGPoker ambassador Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier shoved all in, totaling 364,714 from the big blind. Kelopuro called and the two tabled their hands.

Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier: {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Sami Kelopuro: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

The flop was an interesting one when {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} hit the virtual felt, giving Kelopuro two pair and Grospellier a flush draw. A {q-Clubs} brought the optimism to a halt for Grospellier as he was then drawing dead to the {7-Hearts} river, being eliminated in ninth place.
