Rafael Moraes Eliminated in 3rd Place ($147,000 US)
Level 24
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
On the first hand back from break, Rafael Moraes raised to 250,000 on the button and Mehdi Chaoui three-bet to 825,000 in the small blind. Moraes then moved all in for 5,000,000, and Chaoui snap-called.
Rafael Moraes: 7♠7♥ 
Mehdi Chaoui: A♥A♦
Moraes had run his pocket pair right into Chaoui's aces and was left looking for a miracle yet again. He got no such luck this time as the board ran out 8♠5♥5♠2♣2♦, sending the PokerStars Team Pro to the rail in third place.
