Gylbert Drolet Eliminated in 5th Place ($51,070)

Gylbert Drolet - 5th Place
Gylbert Drolet - 5th Place
Lisandro Gallo has the button in Seat 4.

The action folds around to him and he opens with a raise to 44,000. Next to act is Gylbert Drolet in the small blind, and he moves all in for his last 194,000 chips. Alex Brenes ducks out of the big blind, and Gallo makes the call. With Drolet at risk of being eliminated, the cards are shown down:

Gallo: {A-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}
Drolet: {J-?} {J-?}

The flop shows up {9-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {2-Clubs}, adding extra outs for Gallo. The turn comes a safe, but scary-looking, {5-Spades}. Drolet needs to fade all of the queens, aces, and spades to stay alive.

Unfortunately for him, the {K-Clubs} rips off on the river, making Gallo the winning ace-high flush. Gylbert Drolet heads to the rail, and will collect a check for $51,070 as a consolation prize.
