Jason Taus Eliminated in 17th Place ($21,936)

Well, Jason Taus' bid for an incredible Day 3 comeback has finally come to an end.

Simon Watt opened the pot with a raise to 47,000, and Venkatesh Gupta three-bet all in from the cutoff seat. In the big blind, Jason Taus made the call to put himself all in, and Watt folded out of the way to let the two short stack duke it out.

Showdown
Gupta: {9-Diamonds} {9-Spades}
Taus: {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}

The flop was a pretty decent miss for Taus as the {10-Hearts} {K-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} gave him four more outs to the gutterball. The turn {2-Clubs} was a total brick, though, and Taus pleaded for his cards.

"Jack! Queen! Ace!"

But his cries fell on deaf ears. The dealer slammed the {10-Clubs} down on the river, and that was not one of the good cards for Taus.

After quite a remarkable run, Jason Taus is out in 17th place, and he seems absolutely thrilled to have made this latest pay jump. "Good job, guys. Good luck." He shook hands with his entire table, and even a few people on the rail as he gathered his belongings.

"It was a blast," Taus said as he headed for the cashier.
