Daniel Strelitz Eliminated in 3rd Place ($429,950)

Kai Cocklin

Level 47 : Blinds 5,000,000/10,000,000, 10,000,000 ante

Daniel Strelitz shoved from the small blind for 96,500,000 and Michael Wilklow liked what he saw in the big blind and called.

Daniel Strelitz: A♠2♦ All in
Michael Wilklow: A♣6♣

Strelitz was looking for a way back into the tournament, but after the 3♦5♥6♥ flop, it didn't seem too likely as Wilklow paired his six. A four would have given Strelitz a straight, but the 8♦ on the turn wasn't what he was looking for.

Nothing changed when the K♦ hit the river, meaning Strelitz was out in third.
