Paul Pitchford Eliminated in 4th Place (��40,862)

Paul Pitchford - 4th place
Paul Pitchford - 4th place

After posting the ante, Paul Pitchford put his last 11,000 chips into the pot blind from under the gun. Jeppe Bisgaard called on the button, and JP Kelly raised to 55,000 from the small blind. That was enough to fold his opponents and get Kelly heads up with Pitchford with a chance at the knockout.

Showdown
Pitchford: {9-Hearts} {5-Diamonds}
Kelly: {A-Spades} {5-Spades}

Board: {8-Spades} {3-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {5-Clubs}

Fives and threes are a nice hand, but not when your opponent has the same with the ace kicker. Unable to get over the hump, Pitchford has become the third in a quick string of eliminations. It was a great show by the Brit, coming into the day as the second shortest stack. He waited patiently and picked his spots carefully today, and he'll take home more than ��40,000 for a fine final table performance.
