Justin Saliba Eliminated in 5th Place ($499,097)
Level 26
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Jared Bleznick opened to 800,000 from the cutoff, Justin Saliba shoved for a bit over 6,000,000 from the big blind and Bleznick called with a covering stack to put Saliba at risk.
Justin Saliba: A♣K♣
Jared Bleznick: A♠Q♥
Bleznick winced upon seeing that Saliba had him dominated with a bigger ace and still needed a lot of help on the 8♥6♠5♠ flop. The 9♠ turn brought in a flush draw which came in on the 7♠ river. Saliba was sent to the rail in brutal fashion while Bleznick closed most of the distance between himself and Christoph Vogelsang for the chip lead.
