Joseph McCarthy Eliminated in 5th Place ($59,953)
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
After a raise from Mike Linster to 250,000 from under the gun, William Kopp made it 930,000 to go from the cutoff.
Joseph McCarthy was left to a decision for his remaining 405,000 in the small blind, and after a minute or so of thought, he moved all in.
Linster folded and left McCarthy's fate to the chip leader.
Joseph McCarthy: A?Q?7?3?
William Kopp: A?A?Q?5?
McCarthy told his rail that he had diamonds working for him, with the J?10?5? flop bringing him one along with a gutshot Broadway draw.
His flush draw got closer with the 8? turn, but the Q? on the river brought him no further help, keeping Kopp's aces ahead to eliminate McCarthy.
