Jorge Ruiz: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

The flop came {10-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{7-Spades}, giving Haynes top pair. The {a-Diamonds} turn improved Haynes to two pair, and left Ruiz drawing thin to a gutshot straight on the river. The final card fell {6-Diamonds}, and Haynes doubled up and left Ruiz with the short stack at the final table.

Adam Lamers Eliminated in 5th Place ($13,441)

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Adam Lamers
Adam Lamers

Hand #88: Adam Lamers jammed for 1,460,000 from the cutoff, and Jorge Ruiz three-bet shoved for 2,350,000 in the small blind, chasing out Jesse Kertland in the big blind.

Adam Lamers: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Jorge Ruiz: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

"King!" Lamers' rail yelled out.

The {5-Spades}{2-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop was of little help to Lamers, and the {6-Clubs} turn left Lamers looking for a king or queen to come behind and win, or a three for a chop. The {8-Spades} river bricked off, and the PokerNews Live Reporter took his leave with a rousing amount of applause from his supportive rail.

Hand #86: Nicholas Haynes raised to 250,000 on the button, and both blinds folded.

Hand #87: Jesse Kertland raised to 255,000, and Jorge Ruiz called in the big blind. The flop came {2-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{7-Spades} and Ruiz led out for 400,000. Kertland raised to 1.1 million, Ruiz three-bet to 2.21 million, and Kertland called all in for his last 1.1 million.

Jesse Kertland: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Jorge Ruiz: {k-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

The flush came in for Ruiz on the {a-Hearts}, putting Kertland in dire straits. Kertland found the miracle on the river, however, with the {7-Clubs} hitting the board for a full house to double up.
