Richard Gryko Eliminated in 3rd Place ($1,000,423)
All three players went to a flop of 8♥6♠2♦ in a limped pot where action checked to Dylan Linde on the button. He bet 700,000 and Stephen Chidwick called in the small blind.
Richard Gryko then raised to 3,500,000 and only Linde called. The turn was the 3♦ and Gryko slowed down and checked to Linde, who bet 6,000,000. Gryko took a minute before moving all in for 17,700,000.
Linde let out a deep breath and waited for the dealer to confirm the amount before calling, creating the biggest pot of the tournament so far. Gryko showed J♥J♦6♣5♠, but Linde was far ahead with 6♥6♦4♠4♦ for a set.
The 3♠ river improved Linde to a full house and he took the massive pot to send Gryko to the rail in third place.
Linde and Chidwick are taking a short break while the table is prepared for the start of heads-up play.
