Jason Somerville Eliminated in 4th Place ($386,125)
First to act, Frank Kassela opened the pot to 140,000. Next door, Jason Somerville moved all in for 1.1 million, and Dan Kelly quickly folded his small blind. Shawn Buchanan was thinking about it in the big blind, though, and he eventually announced a reraise all in over the top. Kassela quickly ducked out, and Somerville knew he was in trouble as the cards were turned over:
Somerville:
Buchanan:
It was going to take a lot of luck for Somerville to stick around, and the flop wasn't particularly helpful as it came . He still needed to find two friendly running cards, but the turn was a miss and left him drawing dead to the river.
Jason Somerville has thusly been dispatched of in 4th place. He picked his spots carefully for three-plus days, but he found a bad spot when it mattered most, running into aces and running out of chips. He'll take home close to $400,000 for his work here this week.
Buchanan is up around 3.9 million as he stacks that pot.
