Jesse Rockowitz Eliminated in 3rd Place ($541,376)
Level 44
: Blinds 2,500,000/5,000,000, 5,000,000 ante
Braxton Dunaway raised to 10 million in the small blind and Jesse Rockowitz defended the big blind to see a flop of K♠5♠7♦ flop. Both players checked and the 4♥ appeared on the turn.
Dunaway checked, Rockowitz bet 10 million, and Dunaway woke up with a check-raise jam.
Rockwitz had 78 million behind and called it off.
Jesse Rockowitz: 8♣7♣
Braxton Dunaway: Q♣6♣
Rockowitz was ahead with a pair and gutshot straight draw, while Dunaway had an open-ended straight draw. The Q♦ river didn't complete that latter draw, but it did pair Dunaway's queen to give him a bigger pair and the win.
