Barb Visher opened to 125,000 from the hijack and Randy Needens went all in over the top of her for 165,000. Action folded to Nate Zoller in the big blind and he put out chips to call. Visher called behind to create a side pot for potential future action.

Both players checked the flop {9-Spades}{j-Clubs}{a-Hearts}. The turn came {7-Hearts} and Zoller bet 200,000. Visher called, bringing the river {5-Clubs}. Zoller threw out another bet of 300,000 and Visher folded, showing the {j-Diamonds} face up. With Visher's fold, Zoller earned the side pot and it was time for both him and Needens to table their hands for the main pot.

Randy Needens: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Nate Zoller: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}

Needens had flopped top pair, top kicker and felt great about his chances to triple and regain some fold equity. Unfortunately for him, Zoller turned a set of sevens and locked up the elimination, with Needens earning a fifth-place prize of $16,325.
