Elias Talvitie Eliminated in 5th Place ($3,542,000)
Level 26
: Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Action folded to Alejandro Lococo in the small blind who raised to 2,400,000 with 10♣7♣ and Elias Talvitie called in the big blind with K♣J♥.
After the 8♥4♥6♥ flop, Lococo bet out 1,800,00 with his double-gutted straight draw, and Talvitie made the call with his flush draw and two overcards.
The turn brought the K♦ and Lococo kept betting, this time for 3,600,000, which Talvitie called with his top pair.
To Lococo's delight, the river brought the 9♠ to give him the nut straight, and he bet all in for Talvitie's stack of 11,300,000. After confirming his chip count, Talvitie made the call and was eliminated in fifth after seeing Lococo's straight.
