Basel Chaura Eliminated in 3rd Place ($250,157)
Level 41
: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Ryan Riess opened for 4,500,000 from the button and Basel Chaura shoved his remaining 18,100,000. Riess asked for a count and then made the call.
Basel Chaura: 
Ryan Riess: 
The 
flop was very favorable to Riess, maintaining his lead and giving him a gunshot straight draw as well.
However, the 
turn gave Chaura top pair and the lead, though it also gave Riess the club flush draw.
When the 
hit the river, neither player initially realized that Riess had made the flush but it was enough to eliminate Chaura in third place, earning him a quarter of a million dollars.
