Michael Bohmerwald Eliminated in 3rd Place ($11,000)
John McDonald completed the small blind, Michael Bohmerwald raised to 700,000 from the big blind, and McDonald called. On the flop of 4♣2♥8♥, McDonald checked, Bohmerwald bet 425,000, and McDonald check-raised to 1,600,000. Bohmerwald jammed, and McDonald called.
Michael Bohmerwald: 10♥8♠
John McDonald: K♠8♣
They both had a pair of eights, but McDonald's kicker was superior. The last two fell 5♦4♥ and changed nothing. McDonald had Bohmerwald barely covered, so he effectively doubled up, regaining the chip lead in the process.
Bohmerwald hit the rail in third place.
