Stanley Tavanese Eliminated in 5th Place ($170,648)
In only the sixth hand of this final table, Stanley Tavanese has been busted in fifth place at the hands of Casey Kelton, who now holds a commanding chip lead with over five million in his stack.
Earlier, Tavanese raised all-in from the small blind and picked up the blinds and antes, but after he shoved again from the button in the very next hand, Kelton snap-called from the small blind and Allan Le folded his big blind before the cards were tabled:
Kelton:
Tavanese:
The flop of changed nothing, but Tavanese cringed when the spiked on the turn, which left him drawing dead. As if to rub it in, the dealer peeled off the river to give Kelton the full house and send Tavanese to the rail to collect $170,648.
