Renan Bruschi Eliminated in 3rd Place ($540,000 US)
Zdenek Zizka moved all in for 2,800,000 on the button and Felipe Boianovsky reshoved in the small blind. Renan Bruschi snap-called for 5,400,000 in the big blind, creating a massive three-way all in as Boianovsky had a chance to end the tournament.
Zdenek Zizka: 7♥7♣
Renan Bruschi: A♣K♣
Felipe Boianovsky: 9♠9♣
Boianovsky was ahead with his nines going to the flop, which came Q♣5♦3♣ to give Bruschi the nut flush draw to go with his overcards. Zizka had just two outs to stay alive, and he found one of them on the 7♦ turn to take the lead.
The river was the 5♥ and Zizka improved to a full house to triple up, while Boianovsky took the side pot to send Bruschi to the rail in third place.
Zizka and Boianovsky are taking a 35-minute dinner break before beginning heads-up play.
