Kelly Samson Eliminated in 3rd ($128,816)

Kelly Samson and Ben Fineman
Kelly Samson and Ben Fineman
On a flop of {4-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, Kelly Samson led out with a 75,000 bet. Ben Fineman then came over the top for 200,000 and Samson made the call. When the {9-Hearts} peeled off on the turn, Samson led out once more and Fineman pushed back with the force of his remaining 1,102,000 in chips. Samson quickly called and found that his {8-Spades}{9-Clubs} for trip nines was behind Samson's jack-high flush {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. The river brought no help to Samson as it fell {2-Hearts}. After a lengthy countdown of both players' stacks it was determined that Fineman had Samson covered. The 53-year-old Kelly 'Kboy' Samson will take home $128,816 for his efforts.
