The next player to be eliminated in the 5-Year Extravaganza is George Kazarian. He opened all-in from the button and after a short consideration of the situation, Patrick St-Onge called. Kathy Sawers (bb) folded and the cards were turned on their backs.

Things looked up for George for a split second when the window card became visible: . But when the other two cards were fanned out, the situation was not nearly as sunny: (to ooohs and aaahs from the table and spectators). The on the turn got a reaction as well, though it was more aesthetically pleasing than hopeful for George – he gained a single out. It was for nought as the came on the river and George hit the rail.
9th place: George Kazarian, $1,600
