Michael Falcon Eliminated in 5th Place (€11,600)
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Alvaro Murciano raised to 200,000 under the gun, Michael Falcon three-bet to 700,000 in the big blind, and Murciano called.
The flop came A♥10♥3♥ and Falcon bet 500,000. Murciano called to the 6♣ turn, where Falcon slowed down and checked. Murciano then bet 700,000, Falcon moved all in for 3,190,000, and Murciano snap-called.
Nearly 9,000,000 was at stake as Falcon showed A♣Q♥ for top pair and a flush draw, while Murciano had flopped a set with 3♠3♦. Both players stood up from their seats to await the pivotal river, which came the 5♠ to secure the massive pot for Murciano and send Falcon crashing out in fifth place.
Murciano went into four-handed play holding more than 80 percent of the chips in play with that pot.
