James Mackey Eliminated in 3rd Place ($286,000)

James Mackey  - 3rd Place
James Mackey - 3rd Place

Straight after James Mackey doubled through Neil Channing, it was looking like it was about to happen all over again. This time, Mackey was all-in holding {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} against Channing's {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}.

The {k-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop and Mackey's rail would be up on their feet celebrating. The {3-Spades} turn changed nothing and it was looking like Mackey was in very good shape to give himself a real chance at making a run at the title.

River: {5-Spades}

The poker gods had different ideas as the devastating river would give Channing the best hand, eliminating Mackey in third place and sending Channing into the heads-up battle with an unprecedented chip lead.
