The final five players return from break to begin Level 19, and these were their updated chip counts:

Seat 1.  Nisim Cohen  –  135,000  (17 bb)
Seat 2.  Gavin Smith  –  500,000  (63 bb)
Seat 3.  David Jacobs  –  124,000  (16 bb)
Seat 4.  Gabriel Ramos  –  127,000  (16 bb)
Seat 5.  Scott Franck  –  46,000  (6 bb)

A few minutes later, Scott Franck got it all in from the button for about 60,000 against Gabriel Ramos in the cutoff.

Gabriel Ramos:  QsQc8c7d6c
Scott Franck:  AcQd6d5d3c

The board came Jc9c8sQh9h, and with no qualifying lows, Ramos won the entire pot with a full house, queens full of nines, to eliminate Franck in fifth place.

Gabriel Ramos  –  178,000  (22 bb)
Scott Franck  –  Eliminated in 5th Place  ($1,820)

After his elimination, Franck wanted to point out that not only was this the first time he had ever played Big O, but it was the first time he ever played Omaha hi-lo.

Gavin Smith (big blind) and Gabriel Ramos (cutoff) put in 35,000 each to get to the turn on a board of 10s3s2c8c.

Smith bet 75,000, Ramos moved all in, and Smith called all in for 215,000.

Gabriel Ramos:  AhQh6h3h3c  (set of threes, 8-6 low)
Gavin Smith:  AcKsJh8h4s  (spade flush draw, gutshot straight draw, 8-4 low)

As things stood on the turn, it would be a split pot, but the river brought the 5d to give Smith a wheel (five-high straight). Smith scooped the entire pot to double up into a big chip lead, knocking Ramos down to 20 big blinds.

Gavin Smith  –  500,000  (83 bb)
Gabriel Ramos  –  120,000  (20 bb)
