Josh Reichard Eliminated in 3rd Place ($99,831)
Level 40
: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Maurice Hawkins raised to 7,000,000 on the button and Josh Reichard defended in the big blind.
The flop came 7♠6♣8♠, Reichard checked, and Hawkins bet enough to put Reichard all in, who had 10,100,000 back. Reichard quickly called.
Josh Reichard: 10♦9♦9♣4♣
Maurice Hawkins: A♠J♠J♥4♥
Reichard flopped the nut straight, but Hawkins still had outs with the nut flush draw.
The turn landed the 5♠ to seal the deal and the meaningless 7♦ rolled off on the river as Reichard exited the tournament area.
