"high-card" Eliminated in 3rd Place ($218 + $43 in Bounties)
In Level 28 with blinds of 20,000/40,000 and an ante of 5,000, "high-card" limped on the button and "RGAx732x" completed their small blind. "Barrettwins" pumped it up to 160,000 in the big blind and received a call from only "high-card" to take action heads up to a flop of 
.
"Barrettwins" then checked to send action over to "high-card," who jammed for 688,000. "Barrettwins" quickly called.
"high-card": 
"Barrettwins": 
Both players had flopped top pair, but "Barrettwins" was way out in front with their jack kicker. "high-card" needed to hit a trey or running wheel cards to double, and also had outs to a deuce or a running paired board to chop. Instead, the turn 
and river 
left their hand second best and they were eliminated from the tournament in third place.
Meanwhile, "Barrettwins" now takes nearly a two-to-one chip advantage into an already-begun heads-up match.
