Stefan Raffay Eliminated in 5th Place ($149,392)

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
Stefan Raffay - 5th Place
Stefan Raffay - 5th Place

Stefan Raffay opened with a raise only to have Sadan Turker jam all in from the button. Raffay made the call for his tournament life.

Raffay: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Turker: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}

With Raffay in great shape to double, the {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop would see him drawing to the slimmest of chances as only running queens could save him.

The {J-Diamonds} on the turn would shut the door on Raffay as the {4-Hearts} sealed the deal to end his tournament in 5th place for a $149,392 payday.
