Attilio Bitondo Eliminated in 3rd Place ($10,726)
Level 26
: 20,000/40,000, 4,000 ante
Moments after scoring a fortunate double through Mike Sandler by filling a gutshot straight draw, Attilio Bitondo just took two to the head.
The 85-year old shoved all in before the flop holding 
, and perhaps steaming a bit from the aforementioned loss, Sandler quickly announced the call while tabling 
.
The flop came down 
and Sandler shook his head in disgust, sensing that he may not be able to best his elder on this day, and the turn fell 
to confirm his suspicion.
River: 
Just like that, Sandler had caught up to end Bitondo's amazing run in this tournament, sending him back to New York with an incredibly impressive 3rd place finish.
