Level 23 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Justin Gardenhire - 3rd Place
Justin Gardenhire - 3rd Place

Mark Martin opened for 50,000 on the button and was called by both Justin Gardenhire and Mike Tang. Everyone checked the {8-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{8-Hearts}, and a {2-Spades} arrived. Gardenhire checked again, and Tang bet 75,000. Martin called, and Gardenhire made it 185,000. Tang came back with 385,000 total, forcing Martin out. Gardenhire tanked for a few minutes, squinting at his opponent's stack before announcing he was all in. Tang called with frightening speed.

"God, he's got queen-eight," Gardenhire said in disappointment.

It was only {8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}, though, and Gardenhire was ahead with {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} for a turned full house. The dealer burned and brought forth the {q-Hearts} on the river, ruining Gardenhire's boat and giving Tang a winning eights full.

"Very well-played hand," Gardenhire said before heading to the payout desk.
