David Paredes Eliminated in 5th Place ($184,816)
Showdown
Paredes:
Stein:
Paredes had picked up aces again, but against Stein, even pocket rockets are on shaky ground. The only question in the audience was whether Stein would hit a set or a straight. He couldn't river a flush in this hand since Paredes had him suit-dominated.
The suspense didn't last long with a jack on the flop. Paredes looked sick. The turn gave David two extra outs, but the on the river couldn't save him. Paredes just couldn't withstand the power of the luckbox and was sent home stunned in 5th place, earning $184,816.
