Doug "WCGRider" Polk Eliminated in 3rd Place (AU$1,041,500)
Level 14
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
In the first hand back from the dinner break, Phil Ivey raised to 110,000 from the button only to have Doug "WCGRider" Polk three-bet all in from the small blind for 890,000. Mike "Timex" McDonald thought for a few moments before moving all in over the top from the big blind, and that inspired Ivey to ditch his hand.

McDonald:
Polk was in trouble, but he got some help on the flop. Even though McDonald flopped top pair, Polk picked up a flush draw and a pair of his own. Polk had to pulls to get there, but ultimately he was left wanting as the blanked on the turn followed by the on the river.
