Tim Phan Eliminated in 5th Place ($464,110)

Tim Phan - 5th Place
Tim Phan - 5th Place
Hand #30 - Tim Phan has the button in seat 6, Lee limps from the cutoff for 200,000, Phan moves all in from the button for about 1.72 million, Morrison moves all in over the top, and Lee folds.

Phan shows {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}, but he's dominated by Morrison's {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}.

The flop comes {J-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, and Phan needs a nine or a runner-runner straight to stay alive. The turn card is the {J-Hearts}, and Phan is down to just two outs. The river card is the {7-Spades}, and Morrison's aces hold up to win the pot.

Tim Phan is eliminated in fifth place, earning $464,110. The next player eliminated will receive $696,220 for fourth place.
