Event 8: Chris Valsamos - 5th Place

$400 + $50 Deep Stack Double Play NL (2 Re-Entry)

Chris Valsamos - 5th Place - $10,550

After two days of superior poker play, Chris Valsamos' dream comes to an end.

He held the chip lead from time to time and at one point was down to 20,000 on Day 1A.

He shipped his final 1.6 million in good holding 7-7 vs. Sammy Elkassir's 8-10.

An eight in the window was enough to topple Valsamos.

Board ran: K-Q-8-4-5.

"Nobody thinks I'm tight any more" said Sammy Elkassir who made the somewhat loose pre-flop call.

Down to four and they're ready to play it out!
