Gregg Bloom Eliminated in 3rd Place ($10,000)
Level 30
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Gregg Bloom raised on the button with Q?10? to 1,200,000, leaving himself 1,700,000 behind. Ian Auvil called in the small blind with 3?3?.
The flop came J?9?3? and Auvil moved all in with his set of threes. Bloom called with his open-ended straight draw.
The turn though was the 9?, filling up Auvil to cinch the hand. Just for good measure, he drilled the 3? on the river to make quads and bring the tournament to heads-up play between Auvil and Ronald Kaepernick.
