Other PokerStars Team Pros that made deep runs but couldn't close out a Day 3 finish included Rafael "GM_VALTER" Moraes (77th - $25,102), Sam "SamSquid" Grafton (64th - $25,102) and Ben "Spraggy" Spragg (61st - $30,595) whos pocket twos fell short to the ace-ten of Day 1 chip leader Thorsten "juicetus" Legit.
Mataos bagged a healthy stack of 7,497,056 and can thank his well timed pocket kings against the ace-king for 2014 WSOP Main Event winner Martin "M.nosbocaJ" Jacobson who couldn't find improvement and was sent out in 91st place, only four spots away from the money.
