Alan Cutler Eliminated in 5th Place ($223,497)

Alan Cutler - 5th Place
Alan Cutler - 5th Place
Alan Cutler has just gone from hero to zero in an incredibly unlucky set of circumstances in consecutive hands.

In the first hand Cutler raised from the button to 175,000 and Gomes moved all in over the top for all of his chips. Cutler asked to take a look at the payout sheet before making the call.

Cutler: {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}
Gomes: {7-Spades}{6-Spades}

The flop came {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} to give Cutler top two pair and leaving Gomes drawing to only a runner-runner to survive. With one foot out the door, the {6-Clubs} fell on the turn to give Gomes slim hope to hit one of the two remaining sixes to survive. Miraculously the {6-Hearts} fell on the river to the roar of the Brazilians on the rail and to the shock of Cutler.

The very next hand Cutler raised to 200,000 from the cutoff and the action folded to Marco Johnson in the big blind who moved all in. Cutler snap-called for about 700,000 and the cards were tabled.

Cutler: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Johnson: {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

The board was once again cruel to Cutler as Johnson spiked a two-outer when it arrived {5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{6-Spades}{K-Clubs} to give Johnson the hand.

In devastating back-to-back bad beats Alan Cutler goes from one of our chip leader to being eliminated in 5th place for $223,497.
