Jack Oliver Eliminated in 3rd Place ($3,000,000)
Level 40
: 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Hand #168: Jack Oliver jammed for 35,700,000 in the small blind and Holmes in the big blind asked for a count. After one minute and 11 seconds of consideration, Holmes made the call.
Jack Oliver: 
George Holmes: 
The 
flop kept Oliver in the lead with a pair of eights but the 
turn improved Holmes to the superior pair.
Nothing changed on the 
river and that spelled the end for Oliver in third place. He takes home $3 million for the efforts and there will now be a short break before heads-up play gets underway.
