Zo Karim Eliminated In Fifth Place ($27,328)
Mar 18, '15
 It folded to Eric Molina in the small blind and he moved all-in for Zo Karim’s stack of roughly 20 big blinds.
Karim quickly made the call and flipped up the AQ. Molina held the K 10 and would need to hit to avoid losing almost the entirety of his stack.
The board ran out Q92K10, flopping top pair for Karim but giving Molina two pair by the river.
With that Karim was eliminated in fifth place, earning $27,328.

Jon Lactaoen Eliminated 13th ($7,217)
Mar 18, '15
 Jon Lactaoen has had a great series here at the Wynn which was capped off by a deep run in the main event. Unfortunately, Lactaoen’s streak came to an end in a pretty brutal fashion, making him the first bustout of the day and the 13th place finisher.
Lactaoen’s end was brought about when Timothy Chang moved all-in with A5 and Lactaoen snap-called with AQ. Chang picked up a straight draw after a flop of 632 and completed it when the 4 fell on the turn.
“There is it,” Chang said.
The river was a meaningless A and Lactaoen was left with just 26,000 after that.
On the next hand Lactaoen moved all-in from the button and Zo Karim called from the big blind without looking at his cards.
Lactaoen showed ten-nine of spades and Karim flipped over one card -the 6.
The dealer insisted Karim show both his cards before fanning the board, and Karim turned over his other hole card – the 8.
A flop of AQ8 signaled Lacatoen’s finish as his hand failed to improve as the board ran out 25.
In total, Lactaoen earned $64,574 during this series.
