Last year's third place finisher in the WSOP Main Event Jake Balsiger had already put a bet out on a flop of {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} when his opponent pushed all in. Balsiger asked for a count but before the dealer could give him an accurate number Balsiger looked back at his cards and quickly called.

Balsiger's {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} easily trumped his opponents small kicker of {a-Spades}{4-Spades}. The board ran out blank and Balsiger eliminated his opponent. Balsiger looking to make some noise in this year's series just like he did eight short months
