Barry Berger Eliminated in 5th Place ($139,353)

Barry Berger opened to 215,000 from the cutoff and Rico Ramirez defended his button by making the call.

The flop fell down {8-Spades}{Q-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and after nearly ninety seconds of thinking he slid out a stack of 25,000-denomination chips to amount a bet of 500,000.

Berger looked back at the 800,000 that he had in front of him and slid the rest in with Ramirez quickly calling.

Berger: {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Ramirez: {10-Spades}{9-Spades}

With Berger making a call for his tournament life, he would have to evade countless outs with Ramirez holding a double-gutshot straight-draw as well as a flush-draw.

The turn would land the {j-Diamonds} to give Berger a set, but fill Ramirez's straight, and when the {4-Hearts} peeled on the river Berger was sent packing in 5th place.
