Daniel Camillo Eliminated in 5th Place ($113,225)

Daniel Camillo - 5th Place
Daniel Camillo - 5th Place

John Woo raised to 125,000 from the button and was called by Daniel Camillo in the small blind and Eric Stremp in the big blind. Both blinds checked the {4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop and Woo bet 250,000.

Camillo them moved all in for a little over a million. Stemp folded and when action got back around to Woo he went into the tank for a good five minutes. Woo then made the call and showed {A-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for a pair of fours. Camillo turned over the {K-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and he was in big trouble.

Things didn't improve when the {Q-Spades} came on the turn. Camillo needed to catch a king on the river to stay alive. Unfortunately for him, it came the {5-Hearts} and he was eliminated from the tournament in fifth place ($113,225). Woo brought his stack to around 5 million after the hand.

Minetti All In

Daniel Camillo limped from the cutoff and Harold Angle called from the small blind. Mike Minetti then decided to raise to 150,000 from the big blind. Camillo made the call and Angle got out of the way.

The flop came down {A-Spades}{2-Clubs}{K-Spades} and Minetti bet 185,000. Camillo, who had more chips, then moved all in and Minetti called for his tournament life.

Minetti: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}
Camillo: {K-Hearts}{3-Hearts}

The turn was the {10-Spades} and Camillo needed a king or three to eliminate his opponent. The river was the {9-Spades} and Minetti doubled to 1.515 million while Camillo dropped to 1.43 million.

No Big Pots

Since returning from their break, players are playing their cards close to their chests. There have been a lot of limps and preflop takedowns. In fact there haven't been any big pots in quite some time.

That'll likely change soon as the blinds and antes are eating away at stacks since it is only five-handed.

Preston Derden Eliminated in 6th Place ($83,872)

Preston Derden - 6th Place
Preston Derden - 6th Place

Preston Derden was in the hijack and moved all in for 350,000. John Woo called from the button and both blinds got out of the way.

Woo: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}
Derden: {J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

Derden was behind and needed help. The flop came {4-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, which inspired Derden's supporters to root for a seven. The {A-Clubs} on the turn made it so Derden would only survive with a seven.

The dealer burned and put the {9-Hearts} on the river, which officially eliminated Derden from the tournament in 6th place ($83,872). Meanwhile, Woo has increased hi big stack to 3.38 million.
