Hold'em

Fernando Brito made it 80,000 in the cutoff and Samuel Welbourne three-bet shoved for around 300,000 from the next seat.

The board of {9-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} didn't rescue him and Welbourne left the tournament area with a fifth-place payout slip, valued at $43,641.
