Sean Winter Eliminated in 3rd Place ($518,106)
Level 23
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Sean Winter limped in with 9♦6♥ and Alexandre Vuilleumier checked his 10♣9♠.
Both players hit top pair on the 9♥2♠4♦ and Winter check-called a bet of 250,000. The turn came the 5♣ and Vuilleummier bet another 425,000.
Winter now came back with a raise to 1,100,000 and Vuilleumier called. The 10♦ on the river improved Vuilleumier to two pair as Winter put in 1,700,000.
Vuilleumier then raised enough to put Winter all in as Winter took off his sunglasses and grimaced before calling for his last 3,250,000.
Winter came up a few spots short of his first WSOP bracelet, while Vuilleumier and Chance Kornuth are now taking a short break before the start of heads-up play.
