Daniel Laidlaw Eliminated in 5th Place (NZD$24,000)

When Matt Yates opened to 23,500 from the cutoff seat, Marcel Schreiner would promptly raise to 59,500 from the small blind. Daniel Laidlaw was in the big blind when he moved all-in for his remaining 98,500 and the action would be back on Yates as his cards went into the muck.
Schreiner, however, would opt to call the all-in bet and we had another tournament life on the line here at the 2011 APPT Queenstown Main Event.
The 
of Schreiner would be a slight favourite against the 
of Daniel Laidlaw and when the 
flop was dealt it was looking bleak for Laidlaw. The 
on the turn would leave Laidlaw drawing dead and the PokerStars qualifier would be sent packing in 5th place for a handsome NZD$24,000 score.
