Drew O'Connell Eliminated in 3rd Place ($156,675)
Level 20
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
David Stefanski opened to 35,000 from the button. Drew O'Connell put forward a three-bet to 120,000 from the small blind, before Stefanski clicked it back to 235,000. O'Connell shoved, and Stefanski made the call.
Drew O'Connell: 9♠9♥
David Stefanski: A♣K♣
The two players, both having just acquired drinks, gave each other a cheers before the runout was dealt. Unfortunately, O'Connell had next to no hope after the A♥2♣Q♣ flop. His single out didn't come on the 3♦10♠ runout, and he exited in third, despite making the most out of the chop.
