Diones Lopes Eliminated in 3rd Place ($519,400 US)
Level 29
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Alen Fillipi raised to 800,000 on the button, and then called a three-bet to 2,400,000 by Diones Lopes in the big blind.
The dealer spread a 8♠5♥Q♣ flop, and Lopes continued for 2,500,000, which Fillipi called.
The 2♠ turn rolled off, and Lopes bet 4,200,000. Fillipi responded by moving all in, having Lopes' stack covered, and Lopes called.
Diones Lopes: A♦Q♠ 
Alen Fillipi: K♠6♠
Fillipi was- semibluffing with a king-high flush draw, and Lopes was a big favourite to take a huge chip lead.
The deck had other ideas, though, as the 9♠ completed the board, seeing Lopes eliminated in third place.
