Alistair Duff Eliminated in 3rd Place (PHP 2,086,000)

[user162117]

Three-handed play really seemed like it would never end. All three remaining players had almost been down and out at some point. None more than Alistair Duff though and therefore it is somewhat apt he would be the one heading home in 3rd place.

On the last hand of his tournament, Nicholas Wong opened the button to 140,000 and Duff moved all in for a bit over 400,000 in the big blind. Wong made the call and the two players turned their hands over.

Duff: {q-Spades} {7-Spades}
Wong: {a-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}

The rail seemed to cheer for Duff as they had now become accustomed to him taking down all these clutch hands. However, not this time as a {2-Spades} {k-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {j-Spades} {a-Hearts} board was dealt out, sending Duff home in 3rd place for a PHP 2,086,000 score.
