Elimination Hands
David Aue Eliminated in 5th Place ($130,617)
Kevin Howe bet 140,000 from the cutoff and David Aue shipped from the small blind. Howe made the call and exposed the 99 and was far behind the 1010 of Aue. The flop came 764 and everything looked good for Aue. The 10 on the turn gave Aue a set but gave Howe four outs to win. The 8 on the river sent Aue to the rail in heartbreaking fashion.
Daniel Wjuniski Eliminated in 4th Place ($179,286)
Kevin Howe was at it again. This time he made it 140,000 from under the gun and Daniel Wjuniski shoved for 830,000 on the button. Max Steinberg was caught in the middle and moved in over the top. Howe mucked and Wjuniski exposed the 77. He was in horrible shape against the JJ of Steinberg. The board offered no help for Wjuniski and he was eliminated.
