Matthew Giannetti Eliminated in Fifth Place ($40,267)

As soon as he's doubled up, although he's still short, Giannetti goes on a raising rampage. He steals the blinds with a button raise next hand. The hand after that, he raises again from the cutoff -- although this time, Strzemp raises all in, and he folds. Then he raises again and this time is forced to fold A-8 up when Young puts him all in.

And when Giannetti raises the next hand, he finds a caller in Michael Schwartz. They see a {9-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {A-Hearts} flop, and Schwartz announces all in. Giannetti dwells up, asks Schwartz whether he has hit a nine (no answer) and then calls.

Schwartz: {Q-Hearts} {9-Hearts}
Giannetti: {A-Clubs} {10-Hearts}

Turn: {Q-Clubs}
River: {9-Spades}

Schwartz has made a full house, and Giannetti is OUT.
