Anthony Licastro Eliminated in 5th Place ($157,321)

Level 32 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Hand #92: William Murray raised to 500,000 and Maggio called from one seat over. Anthony Licastro immediately moved all in out of the big blind and Murray folded. Maggio announced call and the cards were tables.

Licastro: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Maggio: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}

The flop of {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} provided both overcards for Maggio and the {2-Clubs} turn and {3-Spades} river failed to improve Licastro. Both stacks were counted and Licastro had 6,500,000, which Maggio had covered by just a few big blinds.

Licastro takes home $157,321 and the remaining four players have $209,715 locked up. Mark Lillge, especially, was happy about that and joked, "Bless you, Frank."
