There was a looooooong break to prepare for this heads-up encounter.

Steve Olex Eliminated in Third

[user25062]

Steve makes his move with K-T and again runs into David Zeitlin with A-T.

This time the bigger hand holds up, and Steve Olex goes home with third-place money. Steve came here from Florida with his wife and children; this is his first WSOP event.

Jason Warner Survives

[user25062]

Jason moves in with K-8 but runs into David Zeitlin with A-K.

It's a flopped eight that saves Jason.

And now...

[user25062]

The feed is back, let's go see if we still have three players.

Finally David Mitchell Lolis Busts

[user25062]

Playing from the short stack, David makes another stand and gets taken down. The hand is not as interesting as the fact that for the last 30 minutes, David has been standing with me watching the video feed. He told me every hand and was very interested in an earlier hand where he had laid down middle pair to Jason Warner and is now sure it was a bad play. I was sorry to confirm that indeed he would have won the hand.

The entire conversation was a bit surreal as we both watch David playing the tournament. Me, unable to report his hands and his bustout until it happened in delayed time, and he able to watch the hands again but now with the advantage of the hole card cams.

Strange, very strange.

Jason Warner Takes a Big Hit

You decide. The board is {Q-Spades}

and you have {7-Spades}

and Steve Olex with 750,000 pushes all-in.

Jason made the call and, Steve showed {Q-Diamonds}

and a huge swing in chips.

A Deal

[user25062]

The players made a four-way deal. How do I know? Well keep reading.

I cannot report the terms ($$$) of the deal, but we'll you know...
