Doug Lorgeree Eliminated in 3rd Place ($394,724)
Level 29
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Daniel Aharoni raised to 500,000 on the button and Doug Lorgeree potted to 1,650,000 in the small blind. Aaron Kupin then reraised to 2,800,000 in the big blind.
Aharoni shot out of his seat and shuffled his cards around in his hand for a minute before folding, while Lorgeree called all in.
Doug Lorgeree: A♦Q♦9♠5♣2♥
Aaron Kupin: A♣A♥9♦3♣2♣
"Diamonds," Lorgeree pleaded after Kupin turned over his aces. The flop came K♥J♣2♦, while the turn was the K♣. "That's a terrible card," Lorgeree added.
The river was the J♥, and Kupin took the pot to send Lorgeree to the rail in third place. "Do you win, Danny?" Lorgeree asked Aharoni.
"No," Aharoni replied.
Kupin and Aharoni agreed to take a quick, 10-minute break before beginning heads-up play.
