Dustin Gardner Eliminated in 5th Place ($49,093)
Action folded around to Dustin Gardner in the small blind and he limped, inspiring Kurt Jewell to exercise his option in the big with a raise to 115,000. Gardner looked at his opponent for a few moments before announcing all in for 1.44 million total.
Jewell seem interested but took his time and asked for a count. About 30 seconds later, he slid in a stack to represent a call.
Showdown
| Gardner |   |
| Jewell |   |
Gardner clapped his hands together and was clearly excited he got it in good, but things grew serious on the 
flop. Jewell had picked up an open-ended straight draw and a flush draw, so things were still very much up for grabs. The 
turn was of no consequence, but the 
river was. Jewell hit Broadway as he went to the rail to celebrate with his friends; meanwhile, a downtrodden Gardner shook hands with the table and made his exit in fifth place.
