Marius Gierse Eliminated in 3rd Place ($320,000)
Level 28
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Marius Gierse opened to 600,000 on the button and Stephen Song three-bet to 2,000,000 from the small blind. James Mendoza then cold four-bet to 5,500,000 in the big blind with A♥K♦ and Gierse shoved for 8,800,000 total.
Song also went all in for more, which got Mendoza to lay his ace-king down and a showdown was held.
Marius Gierse: A♠K♥
Stephen Song: J♥J♣
Song was well ahead, given that Mendoza folded some of Gierse's outs, and the board ran out 3♣10♦2♥Q♣6♥ — leaving Song's jacks best to eliminate Gierse in third place.
