Istvan Briski Eliminated in 3rd Place ($226,777)

Istvan Briski raised to 6,000,000 from the button and Shawn Daniels defended his big blind.

They both checked through the 9♥5♥7♦ on the flop to the 4♣ on the turn. Daniels fired out a bet of 16,500,000 for Briski to quickly call.

The river completed the board with the 4♦ and Daniels shoved with the bigger stack. Briski jumped into the tank.

"Against anyone else, I would call," Briski muttered. "I have a shit blocker!" he added.

After a while, he called. Daniels revealed the K♦9♣ for two pair, nines and fours. Briski got up from his chair, all defeated and shook Daniels's hand. Daniels prompted the dealer to reveal Briski's hand which was the A♣J♥ for the pair of fours on the board and the ace-kicker in his hand.

Heads-up play continued immediately.
