Seth Davies Eliminated in 3rd Place ($3,470,000)
Level 31
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Biao Ding open-shoved in the small blind, and after much deliberation, Seth Davies called for 6,500,000 with Q♥9♣ in the big blind.
The 5♦6♠8♦ flop gave Davies a gutshot, but neither the A♣ turn nor the 8♥ river provided further help. Davies said goodbye to the two remaining contenders, who were about to duel for the Invitational title.
