Arul Thillai - 3rd Place

Gary Benson raised from the button. Arul Thillai shoved all in from the small blind for 26,000. Benson quickly called.

Benson: {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{9-Spades}

Thillai:

{9-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

Benson had Thillai dominated. The flop was {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

{5-Spades}

. The turn was the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

and Thillai was drawing dead. The river was a meaningless {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

. Arul Thillai finished in third place and won $20,000.

Down to two players. Gary Benson has a healthy 3 to 1 chiplead over Emad Tahtouh. There will be a short break. Action will resume in a couple of minutes.
