Darren Ficek - 4th Place

Darren Ficek opened for a raise on the button, and Mike Lang reraised in the small blind. Ficek jammed it in, and Lang made the call with {q-}{q-}, again picking up the big pair. This time, he was up against {j-}{j-}, and the dominating hand once more held on.

John Reading Eliminated in 5th Place ($23,418)

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
John Reading - 5th Place
John Reading - 5th Place

John Reading opened for 130,000 under the gun, and Nick Jivkov made it 300,000 on the button. The blinds folded, and Reading shipped all in for about 900,000. A look of disappointment crossed his face as he was quickly called.

Reading: {k-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Jivkov: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

A {10-Clubs} window card was a good start for Reading, but it was followed by {10-Spades}{9-Hearts}, no help. A {4-Clubs} turn left him with just three outs to the river, and the {8-Hearts} wasn't one of them.

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Jeremy Dresch - 6th Place
Jeremy Dresch - 6th Place

Jeremy Dresch got all in for an unknown amount with {a-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and was called by Darren Ficek in the big blind, who woke up with a dominating {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. Ficek flopped two pair on the {10-Spades}{a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}, and Dresch's calls for a queen went unheeded on the {3-Hearts} turn and {2-Clubs} river.

Jivkov: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Gutfreund: {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Gutfreund was dominated, and he pulled no comebacks as the community ran out {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}, leaving his kicker inferior.

Lang showed {a-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, and Noe turned over {8-}{2-} for an airball.
