Frank Vizza - 3rd Place

Since Vizza lost that last big pot, each of the following pots has been won with a preflop all-in bet. In the last hand, Samuel Chartier folded the button. John Nixon then announced an all-in from the small blind, and Frank Vizza quickly made the call, putting himself all in for his tournament life.

Showdown:
Nixon: {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

Vizza:

{A-Hearts}

{2-Spades}

There was paint on the flop, but it was safe for Vizza, coming out {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{4-Clubs}

{Q-Hearts}

. The turn was the {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

, adding a few more outs for Nixon. Vizza wouldn't like the river card one bit. The {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

was the last card off the deck, and Nixon came from behind to eliminate the gregarious Frank Vizza out in third place. For his efforts, he'll take home more than $90,000.

The money is now on the table, and we're heads up for the title.
