Michael Monaghan Eliminated in 3rd Place ($24,098)
Level 27
: Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Michael Monaghan called in the small blind, and William Latta checked his big blind option. Monaghan led out for 200,000 on the 9♦3♣A♠ flop, with Latta making the call.
Both players checked through the 4♠ turn, and the dealer completed the board with the 5♦ river.
Monaghan took a moment before announcing a bet of 625,000, representing most of his remaining stack. Latta replied by raising enough to put his opponent all in.
After taking some more time, Monaghan opted to make the call. Latta tabled 5♠2♠ for a straight, while Monaghan flashed 5x4x for two pair.
That sent Monaghan out in third place, leaving Latta and Kyle Cartwright to battle for the RGPS ring.
