Danny Dang Eliminated in 5th Place ($22,614)

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Danny Dang - 5th Place
Danny Dang - 5th Place

Danny Dang opened to about 350,000 on the button, and Tyler Corbett shoved in the small blind for about 800,000, roughly Dang's stack. Dang took about 10 seconds and then called.

Dang: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Corbett: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

The flop came dead: {3-Spades}{10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}.

"Jack of hearts," someone called.

It was the {q-Hearts}, just as good for Corbett. The {a-Diamonds} peeled off one the river, eliminating Dang.

"What is it about the river?" he said in disappointment.

Nick Pupillo Eliminated in 6th Place ($18,845)

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Nick Pupillo

Nick Pupillo opened for 160,000, and Kane Lai three-bet to 460,000 in the big blind after thinking a couple of minutes. Pupillo wasted little time before moving all in, and Lai called.

Lai: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Pupillo: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

Pupillo was in trouble, and the {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Hearts} brought little but a backdoor flush draw. The {k-Clubs} turn meant only a Broadway straight would win it for Pupillo, and an {8-Spades} meant the MSPT team pro was done in sixth.

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Kevin Boudreau

Nick Pupillo shoved all in when action folded to his small blind, and Kevin Boudreau snapped in from the big for about 600,000.

Boudreau: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Pupillo: {a-Spades}{5-Spades}

Pupillo took a hammerlock as {a-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flopped to give him aces, and the {a-Clubs} ended things on the turn. The crowd clapped for Boudreau as he exited with his second straight final table here.
