Billy Griner Eliminated in 5th Place ($133,574)

Billy Griner - 5th place
Billy Griner - 5th place

It folded around to David Wilkinson in the small blind, who announced all in to cover Billy Griner in the big. Griner, who'd been reduced to just 500,000 or so, decided he had to gamble and called all in.

Wilkinson: {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Griner: less live than he would have liked with {j-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Board: {9-Hearts}{q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

Despite Griner sadly requesting the ten of hearts on both flop and turn, it was not to be. The look on his face as he busted was one of real devastation. Although he didn't win a bracelet this time, he nevertheless takes home a chunky six-figure payday for his sterling efforts.
