Hand #40: Jeremy Ausmus raised to 80,000 on the button, winning the blinds and antes.
Hand #41: Erick Lindgren moved all in for 490,000 from the small blind, and Max Silver called in the big blind.
Lindgren:
Silver:
The flop gave Lindgren a backdoor straight draw, and the
kept that draw alive. Lindgren could make a straight with an eight or a king on the river - or win with a simple pair - but the
bricked off on the river.
"Well," Lindgren said as he walked to the rail to embrace his wife. "That wasn't fun."
He'll earn $129,192 for his fifth-place finish, while Silver is up to 2.4 million chips.
