Glenn Engelbert Eliminated in 5th Place ($45,953)
Glenn Engelbert started the level as the short stack with just over 8 big blinds and was eliminated shortly after. Engelbert lost most his chip in a showdown to chipleader David Arsht who rivered a king to leave Engelbert with only 6,000 after he opted to just call the 50,000 river bet rather than move all in for 56,000. While Engelbert was left with less than one-fifth of a single big blind, Arsht padded his chip lead with about 1.6 million after the hand.
Engelbert managed to find a quick triple up a few hands later but Al Barbieri finally got him after Engelbert shoved his last few chips in the middle before the flop and ran into Barbieri’s pocket tens. The board bricked nine-high with a pair of fives and Barbieri’s tens held up. Glenn Engelbert was eliminated in 5th place ($45,953).
