Gaston Miculitzkia, 5th Place ($10,050)

Gaston Miculitzki moved all-in for his final 176,000 and RJ Sullivan called with a chance for the knockout. Miculitzki was in good position to avoid that fate with his dominating AxKx against KdJc but that ended on the Js9s4h flop.

He needed help to stay in the game but missed the 7c turn and 3c river to go out in fifth place.

Gaston Miculitzki: Eliminated in 5th Place ($10,050)
RJ Sullivan: 580,000 (58 bb)
