Brian Mckain Eliminated in 3rd ($114,399)
Level 32
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Carlos Leiva limped in the small blind, and Brian Mckain checked his option.
The dealer fanned out a 7♦3♠4♣ flop, and Leiva check-called a bet of 500,000.
Things escalated quickly on the 10♥ turn, though. Leiva checked, Mckain bet 1,350,000, and Leiva immediately moved all in for Mckain's remaining stack, which he called.
Brian Mckain: 9♦8♦3♦3♣ 
Carlos Leiva: Q♣6♦5♥3♥
A cooler flop blind versus blind, Mckain had bottom set but had been outflopped by Leiva, who held a straight.
Mckain needed the river to pair or to hit a higher straight, but unfortunately, the 9♣ was no help.
Leiva dragged in yet another pot and Mckain departed in third place.
