With the top two players getting $5,000 packages to Aruba next year for the 2015 PPC World Championship, the final three decided to pull $5,000 out of the remaining prize money to ensure all three could come back next year. $3,000 was taken off of first and $1,000 each off of second and third. And with that, all three will be back here next year for some more poker fun in the sun.

Steve Karp folded the button and Aristoteles Neto limped in from the button. Ryan Franklin raised to 75,000 and Neto was quick to announce all in. The short-stacked Franklin didn't think too long, maybe 10 seconds, before calling. Franklin had 
and was behind the 
Neto held.
The flop came 
and Neto started changing "no king, no queen" as the dealer put out the 
on the turn.
"No paint," pleaded Neto and the dealer obliged with the river 
. Neto let out a loud "yes!" and clapped his hands. Franklin shook Karp and Neto's hand, eliminated in third place for $31,194. The two remaining players are taking a brief break with Neto holding a 2:1 chip lead.

We didn't catch the action but all the chips were in the middle on a board of 
with Aristoteles Neto holding 
for aces and eights with a ten kicker. Karp, however, had flopped a full house with
