Mike Estes Eliminated in 5th Place ($44,034)

Level 31
: 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

On the first hand back from break, Jim Erickson opened to 450,000 on the button and Wesley Cannon re-jammed for 4.445 million. Mike Estes called all in for less and Erickson folded, remarking that he would have called one shove but could not call both all-in bets.

Wesley Cannon:
It was a classic coin-flip situation with Estes needing to hold to stay alive, but instead two aces fell on the flop of a runout to give Cannon trip aces and knock out Estes in fifth for a payday of $44,034.
