Jon Kalmar Eliminated in Fifth place ($1,255,069)

Raymond Rahme raises to $2.5 million and Jon Kalmar moves all in for $10,490,000 more. Rahme thinks briefly as his green-clad spectators stand, ready to burst at any second. Rahme makes the call and shows down J J, and Kalmar tables A K. Both camps explode in support of their respective players, with calls for an ace or king tangling with yells for a third jack. Kalmar stands, wiping his hands on his black shirt, emblazoned with a picture of Family Guy character Stewie Griffin dressed as the lead character from Clockwork Orange. The flop comes 10 9 6, and Rahme maintains the lead. Kalmer gets no help when the 3 comes on the turn and he is down to the last card. The river is the 3 and Kalmer is eliminated in fifth place. Rahme's supporters burst out in song, and the 62-year-old busts out a little dance to celebrate. He now has $29,890,000 in chips.
