Trevor Donaldson Eliminated in 5th Place ($190,225)

We have our fifth-place finisher. After Brett Kimes raised to 160,000 from under the gun, Trevor Donaldson reraised all in from the button. Imagine his feeling when Bobby Firestone put in the third raise from the big blind, going all in for over two million in chips. Kimes quickly got out of the way, allowing the remaining players to open their hands:

Donaldson: {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}
Firestone: {K-Hearts} {K-Clubs}

Donaldson was in rough shape, even rougher when Kimes announced he had folded an ace. The flop of {3-Clubs} {10-Spades} {9-Spades} missed Donaldson completely. When the turn fell {4-Diamonds}, only an ace could save his tournament life. It didn't come; the river was the {6-Clubs}. Donaldson is eliminated and collects $190,225.
