James "Bagels" Lillis Eliminated in 3rd Place ($2,108)

James Lillis
James Lillis

In Level 31 with blinds of 25,000/50,000 and an ante of 6,250, all of the chips had gone into the middle on a flop of {9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} with Chris "rumpthumper" White in the small blind covering James "Bagels" Lillis, who was in the big blind.

James "Bagels" Lillis: {j-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Chris "rumpthumper' White: {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

The turn came {6-Spades}, and Lillis found a {5-Clubs} on the river thereafter but it was too little and too late as it had already been counterfeited. White's queen kicker proved to be the difference in the hand, and Lillis was eliminated in third as a result.
