Martin Byrne Eliminated in 3rd Place (£31,800)
Level 29
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Daniel Johnson raised to 160,000 on the button and Martin Byrne moved all in for 890,000 in the small blind. Dean Lyall called in the big blind, while Johnson got out of the way.
Martin Byrne: A♦6♠ 
Dean Lyall: 9♠9♣
Byrne was looking for an ace to stay alive, while Lyall was hoping his nines held on to get him to heads-up. The J♥4♥3♥ flop was safe for Lyall, while Byrne couldn't find an ace on the 4♣ turn and 8♠ river as he was eliminated in third place.
Lyall and Johnson are taking a short break before beginning heads-up play.
