Brendon Herrick Eliminated in 4th Place ($146,450)
Quang Vu, who had the players covered, started a massive chain reaction when he moved all in under the gun.
Brendon Herrick, who was on the button, then moved all in to put himself at risk.
Simon Britton folded in the small blind, and action fell on Stephen Winters, who was in the big blind.
Winter peeked down at his hand and immediately appeared agonized over his decision when he looked at the action in front of him. Winter took a few moments, and then made the call to also put himself at risk.
Brendon Herrick: A?J?
Stephen Winters: A?Q?
Quang Vu: A?5?
Winters saw the hands and was excited to see he was ahead.
The dealer then fanned 7?8?4? on the board, giving Vu a gut-shot straight draw. Winters, however, remained ahead.
The 2? on the river opened another gut-shot straight possibility for Vu, but the 4? on the river gave Winters a massive 381,000,000 pot and sent Herrick to the rail.
Herrick finished in fourth place for $146,450.
