Bradley Craig Eliminated in 5th Place ($121,451)

Bradley Craig - 5th place
Bradley Craig - 5th place

It turned out that Bradley Craig wasn't able to last very long at all after having his stack crippled by Guillaume Darcourt. He open-shoved for 344,000 with {a-Hearts}{8-Spades} and was called by Guillaume Darcourt, who turned over his third strong holding in a row, {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. Darcourt's railbirds (who have become a bit unruly during the last hour) were screaming their lungs out as the flop came {8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}. Darcourt retained the lead with his nines, but Craig had improved to a pair of eights. Any ace or any eight would give him the lead in the hand.

It wasn't to be. The turn {6-Spades} and the river {7-Hearts} were not enough to save Craig. He exits in 5th place, and suddenly our final table has only four competitors remaining.
