Aaron Van Blarcum Eliminated in 5th Place ($200,000)
Aaron Van Blarcum moved all in blind after a Phil Ivey and Wai Kin Yong couple of calls – Ivey, with [AsKd] re-shoved getting Yong (with [QhTd]) out of the way. Van Blarcum, to his surprise, turned over [AdKc] and proceeded to chop the pot.
It was a short reprieve, however, as the next hand he moved in with [Kc9c], isolated by cutoff Sam Greenwood with [AcQd].
“Let me chip up one more time,” asked Van Blarcum, but the deck did not comply, running a board out of [AsKd8sAhJd].
