Demetrios Arvanetes Eliminated in 5th Place ($40,681)

After that double up, Demetrios Arvanetes managed to survive again -- more than tripling up this time. "One happy guy and four miserable guys," he joked afterwards. But the blinds were quickly coming back around again, and time was running out.

Finally came a hand in which Tomas Alenius raised from the button, Glenn Engelbert called from the small blind, and Arvenetes three-bet from the BB, leaving himself just 10,000 behind. Both of his opponents called.

The flop came {3-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. Engelbert checked, Arvanetes tossed in his last two orange (5000) chips, and both called. The turn was the {2-Clubs}. Engelbert reached for his chips, then decided just to check. Alenius checked, too.

The river was the {J-Clubs}, and both checked once more. Engelbert showed {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} -- more than enough to beat Alenius' {K-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and Arvanetes' {A-Spades}{7-Hearts}.

We're down to four.
