Russ Harriman Eliminated in Fifth Place

Couldn't Russell anything up this time
Couldn't Russell anything up this time
After dwindling to just 85,000 or so, Russ Harriman had to make a move sometime, and he actually had a hand when he stuck his chips in.

He reraised all in to a raise from Greg Alston, and was delighted to see that Alston's {A-Hearts} {J-Spades} was well behind his own {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}. But this is poker, and starting ahead doesn't always guarantee you stay ahead. The board came down {2-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {A-Diamonds} (a little punch in the air from Alston), {5-Clubs} (Harriman picking up a few extra outs to split the pot) {5-Spades} (it's all over).

Much good-natured handshaking and back-slapping, and Harriman took his leave and headed for the cash desk.
