Dany Pacitti has been the first player eliminated in the money in Event 5. We missed the action in the hand, but Dany had been short since well before the last break and managed to survive long enough for a min-cash of $1,100.
Next to go was Francesco Maltese in 13th for $1,195. Francesco tried hard to get some kind of bubble save agreement in place but was unsuccessful as the more experienced players refused the deal flat.
Just 3 hands later, James Marvin Loder was eliminated in 12th place, also for $1,195, leaving the tournament just one elimination from the final table.
