Russell Betts Eliminated in 5th Place (£50,000)
Level 29
: 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Russell Betts' tournament is over, his superb run coming to an end in fifth place, a finish worth £50,000.
Betts raised to 160,000 from the button, Fraser Bellamy called in the small blind and Craig McCorkell put in the extra chips from the big blind. An all-heart fop saw all three players check.
Bellamy led for 275,000 and both McCorkell and Betts called on the turn before Bellamy checked the river. MCorkell pushed a bet of 760,000 across the line and Betts called; Bellamy folded.
Betts flipped over for a straight, but McCorkell had flopped a flush with his . A quick count of the stacks confirmed Betts had bust and only four players remain in contention for the £200,000 first place prize.
