With play in the Playground 200 into level 30 and the bb up to 100K, the players in the tournament seem to have gotten a little restless, as stack sizes make it difficult to get far in a hand without someone going all-in. This allowed Elie to make a full double through Cristian a few minutes ago – and two hands later the same type of action saw Thierry Blanc hit the rail in 5th place.
Thierry had been by far the least active player at the table since the final table was established, and with his chips dwindling, when faced with a button raise to 300K from Cristian, he chose to shove over the top – only to get an instant call from his neighbour to the right.

Cristian’s Ace-King high was good on the board and now just 4 players remain in the tourney.
5th place: Thierry Blanc, $4,550
