D.J. Blanchard Eliminated in 3rd Place ($124,204)

Level 25 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
D.J. Blanchard - 3rd Place
D.J. Blanchard - 3rd Place

From the button, D.J. Blanchard raised and Tim West moved all in from the small blind. Ali Eslami folded in the big blind and then Blanchard called all in.

Blanchard: {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
West: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

The flop came down {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and West's fives stayed in front. The turn brought the {K-Spades} and the river the {K-Hearts}. Both the turn and river failed to improve Blanchard's hand after a desolate flop and he was eliminated in third place for nearly $125,000 in prize money, by far the largest score of his live career.
