Ryan Hoenig Eliminated in 3rd Place ($141,315)
Level 35
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
With two players seeing a board of 5♠9♥2♣9♦8♠ and 2,000,000 in the middle, Ryan Hoenig bet 1,900,000 from the small blind and Igor Zektser announced a pot-sized raise to 7,700,00, enough to put Hoenig all-in. Hoenig went into the tank for about a minute before calling.
Zektser showed K♠K♦4♣4♠3♦ for two pair, kings and nines and four-three for the low. Hoenig stared at his hand for a few seconds to confirm he did not have Zektser beat for either half before mucking his hand, ending his deep run in third place.
