Jessie Leonarez Eliminated in 3rd Place (PHP 2,083,000)
Level 29
: 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Aaron Lim opened to 225,000 from the button and folded to a three-bet worth 550,000 total by Jessie Leonarez out of the big blind. One hand later, Leonarez limped the small blind, Lim raised to 300,000 and the Filipino moved all in for 30 big blinds. Lim snapped it off and the two players as well as the entire rail raised to their feet.
Lim: 
Leonarez: 
The rail demanded for an ace, but the 
flop sent them silent. It was all over after the 
turn and the 
river was just a formality. Leonarez was eliminated in third place for a payday of PHP 2,083,000 and both remaining players then agreed to a quick five-minute break before the battle one-versus-one.
