Pascal Leyo Eliminated in 5th Place ($53,293)
Pascal Leyo held on for a long time on the short stack and finally committed the rest of his chips with Q937 against Ming Reslock’s AQ75. Reslock only needed the ace to take the pot as the board helped neither player and Leyo was eliminated from the tournament.
Robert Price Eliminated in 4th Place ($73,405)
On a board reading K229, Robert Price called all in against Thang Luu’s only to see he was drawing dead against Kings up, exiting the tournament in fourth place.
