Hand #91 - Ben Fineman Eliminated in 5th Place ($100,431)

Hand #91 - Ben Fineman has the button in seat 3, he moves all in for 225,000, and Song thinks for a moment before he calls with {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}. Fineman shows {Q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, and he'll need to improve to stay alive.

The flop comes {10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, and Song retains the lead with pocket nines. The turn card is the {A-Clubs}, and Fineman needs a queen to stay alive.

The river card is the {J-Clubs}, and Ben Fineman is eliminated in fifth place, earning $100,431. The next player eliminated will receive $141,516 for fourth place.

Hand #90

Hand #90 - Beth Shak has the button in seat 10, Pillai raises from the cutoff to 110,000, winning the blinds and antes.

Hand #89 - Jason Song Doubles Through Dustin Holmes

Hand #89 - Shankar Pillai has the button in seat 8, Holmes raises under the gun to 110,000, Song moves all in for 380,000, and Holmes calls with {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}. Song shows {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}, and he's in a strong position to double up here.

The board comes {J-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades}{J-Hearts}, and Song's pocket queens hold up to win the pot, and he doubles up in chips.

Hand #88 - Phil Hellmuth Eliminated in 6th Place ($76,464)

Hand #88 - Jason Song has the button in seat 5, Hellmuth raises under the gun to 120,000, and Shak calls from the big blind. The flop comes {Q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, Shak moves all in, and Hellmuth calls all in for 305,000 with {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a pair of tens. Shak shows {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} for a pair of queens, and Hellmuth will need to improve to survive.

Because Hellmuth is behind, there's no need to insurance from Phil Ivey. Besides, Hellmuth is suddenly in a much less jovial mood.

The turn card is the {9-Hearts}, and Hellmuth needs an ace or a ten on the river if he wants to continue pursuit of his 12th bracelet today.

The river card is the {2-Spades}, and Beth Shak wins the pot with a pair of queens. Hellmuth walks over to his wife for a moment before returning to the table to shake hands with the other players.

Phil Hellmuth is eliminated in sixth place, earning $76,464 (minus what he lost in side bets to Phil Ivey). The next player eliminated will receive $100,431 for fifth place.

Hand #87

Hand #87 - Dustin Holmes has the button in seat 4, and he raises to 110,000, winning the blinds and antes. Holmes shows {K-Hearts}{K-Spades} as he collects the chips.
