Roland de Wolfe Eliminated in 5th Place ($112,957)

Roland de Wolfe - 5th Place
Roland de Wolfe - 5th Place
With the betting folded around to him in the small blind, Roland de Wolfe moved all in for just over 600,000 chips. Klausen took a peek at his cards and instantly plunked a big stack of green calling chips into the pot, putting de Wolfe's tournament life in jeopardy.

Showdown
de Wolfe: {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Klausen: {A-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds}

The flop was no fun for de Wolfe, coming down {5-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs} to give his opponent top pair. The {7-Spades} on the turn kept de Wolfe alive for the time being, looking only for a third seven to stay alive. The {8-Clubs} on the river was indeed not a seven, and that spells the end of the day for Roland de Wolfe.

De Wolfe put on a great show over the past three days, but he could never manage to get on top of the pack. Working with a short stack for most of today, Roland was card dead by his own admission, and he was unable to overcome a dominant hand on his final showdown. With that, De Wolfe's bid for bracelet number two at this WSOP falls just short, but he has managed to tally another final table and a six-figure payday.
