Scott Lipshutz Eliminated in 5th Place ($48,673)

[user66118]

Level 22 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Harry Cullen raised to 24,000 under the gun and Gary Friedlander called from the cutoff. Scott Lipshutz three-bet shoved for what looked like 261,000 more from the small blind and Cullen folded. Friedlander took some time to consider before announcing the call, and he was well in front as the cards were on their backs.

Showdown
Friedlander: {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}
Lipshutz: {A-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}

The {7-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} flop was a swing and a miss for Lipshutz, but the {A-Clubs} turn was right in his wheelhouse. Friedlander still had a chance to catch up with a ten or a diamond, and Lipshutz could not fade the river. The {3-Diamonds} landed on board, improving Friedlander to the flush and earning him the knockout.

It was a good run for Lipshutz, but it comes to an end in 5th place. That's good for nearly $50,000 to add to his bankroll, not a bad consolation prize for four days' work.
