Level 35
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
No-Limit Hold'em
Eric Pfenning raised to 1,200,000 from the button, leaving a single green 25,000-denomination chip behind. David Prociak, the small blind, reraised to 2,250,000. David Simon folded, and the cards were turned over after Pfenning tossed in his final chip.
Eric Pfenning: A♠6♥
David Prociak: K♦Q♦
"We're ahead, baby!" laughed Pfenning to his rail. The flop came K♣Q♠5♥, instantly giving Prociak two pair. The 2♣ turn meant that Pfenning was drawing dead, and the harmless 10♥ hit the river to send Pfenning to the rail.
Pfenning's third-place finish results in his highest-ever cash at over $180,000.
