John Michalak Eliminated in 3rd Place ($77,095)
Level 29
: 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Paul Bianchi raised to 225,000, and John Michalak three-bet shoved for two million. Christopher Audrain tanked for a minute before folding in the big blind, and Bianchi snap-called.
John Michalak: 
Paul Bianchi: 
Michalak was looking for an ace to survive, and he added a few outs on the 
flop. The 
turn and 
river were blanks, and Michalak headed out the door in third place, his best career finish out of four career HPT final tables.
Bianchi and Audrain are off on a five-minute break as the table is set up for heads-up play.
