Michael Marder Eliminated in 3rd Place ($35,931)
Level 32
: 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Tam Nguyen opened for 500,000 and Michael Marder three-bet to 2,000,000 from the small blind. Action was on Jeffrey Gross who four-bet all in from the big blind and was called by both opponents.
Tam Nguyen: 
Jeffrey Gross: 
Michael Marder: 
In a three-way battle, each player woke up with premium hands with Nguyen holding the best with pocket aces.
The flop fell 
and Nguyen got a nice sweat with the 
turn giving Marder the nut-flush draw.
Unfortunately for Marder, the river fell a brick with the 
and he was eliminated in 3rd place while Nguyen took down the monster pot getting a 10,850,000 double up from Gross.
