Yair Alon Eliminated in 5th Place ($23,445)
Yair Alon was under the gun and raised to 72,000. Action folded all the way around to Travis Lutes in the small blind and he raised to around 300,000. Alon was not deterred and moved all in for right around 700,000. Lutes called and the cards were turned up:
Lutes:
Alon:
Lutes had Alon in bade shape as the flop fell . Both players hit a pair of aces but the king kicked of Lutes was best. Alon needed a seven to stay alive. The on the turn was not it and neither was the on the river. Alon was eliminated from the tournament in fifth place while Lutes chipped up to 1.6 million.
