Erik Roussakis Eliminated in 3rd Place ($183,991)

Aaron Steury raised to 325,000 on the button only to have Erik Roussakis move all in for around 2.1 million from the small blind. Bob Chow quickly got out of the way, and with the slightest of shrugs, Steury made the call.

Showdown
Steury: {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}
Roussakis: {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}

Roussakis was in a dominating spot and primed to double, that is until the {K-Spades} appeared in the window and was followed by the {7-Spades}{4-Spades}. Suddenly Roussakis went from a huge favorite to needing a non-spade ace. The {K-Diamonds} turn put an end to the hand as Roussakis was left drawing dead against Steury's trips. The meaningless {5-Diamonds} was run out on the river for good measures as Roussakis made his was to the payout desk in third place, worth $183,991.
