Nicolas Milgrom limped the small blind and Joshua Thatcher made it 175,000. Milgrom made the call.
The wheel spun 3♥K♦3♦ and Thatcher bet 200,000 when checked to. Milgrom raised to put Thatcher all in and the latter beat him in the pot.
Joshua Thatcher: A♣Q♥5♠9♣3♣
Nicolas Milgrom: 9♦8♠7♦5♣3♠
Both players flopped trip threes but Thatcher was ahead with his ace kicker.
The turn was a dagger to Thatcher when it fell the 8♣ and the redundant 8♦ improved Milgrom even further.
Thatcher gave everyone a fist bump at the table.
As he left the tournament area he looked at his rail and said, "What a f*ckin' coolerrr... ugh. Let's party!" as he left the tournament area.
