Matthew Morin Eliminated in 3rd Place ($172,724)
Level 43
: Blinds 1,500,000/3,000,000, 3,000,000 ante
Matthew Morin was left with just five chips worth 500,000 each. He had to figure his tournament life would be short. It was longer than expected, thanks to an odd three-splay split and a double-up.
The split came on the unusual occurrence of all three players — Morin, Jonathan Stoeber and Daniel Cosner — all playing the board of J♣6♣6♥K♦K♥, since none had a carder higher than a jack.
On the next hand, Morin doubled up against Stoeber when he hit two pair with A♦K♦ against Stoeber's J♠10♣ on a runout of K♠3♦A♥J♦3♠.
The third time in a row he went all in was not the charm.
Matthew Morin: 5♦6♦
Daniel Cosner: A♥3♠
The runout of K♠2♥9♣10♥4♠ ended Morin's tournament run, as Cosner took the hand with ace-high.
