EVENT #5 NICK SLEPICA ELIMINATED IN 8TH

Nick Slepica needed a lot of help for his AKT5 hand up against Melissa Brancato's A299. The flop was bad J 4 9, giving Brancato the set and leaving Slepica drawing to a gutterball straight. The Ten on the turn did him no favors and the river 3 ended his tournament. After a great run, Slepica will take home $2,237 for his efforts.
