Filip Aleksic Eliminated in 3rd Place ($555,000)
Level 23
: Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
"One more time I can't look at my hand. After that, I have to look at my hand," Filip Aleksic said as Gruffudd Pugh-Jones limped in from the button. Aleksic then put in his last 600,000 in the small blind, and both Cesar Garcia and Pugh-Jones called.
The J♦J♣4♠ flop was checked, and Pugh-Jones bet 250,000 on the 7♥ turn to chase away Garcia.
Pugh-Jones turned over J♠9♥6♦5♠ for trips. "I guess I'm dead," Aleksic said, opening up A♦9♣7♣6♣ as he was already going around to shake his opponents' hands before the 10♦ completed the board on the river to seal his elimination in third place.
