Ray Henson Eliminated in 3rd Place ($17,680)
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 40,000 ante
Jason Daly raised to 200,000 on the button with A?Q?9?6? and got a call from Ray Henson in the big blind with J?8?8?7?.
Henson hit a dream flop of 8?5?2?, giving him top set. He led out for 320,000 and Daly chose to make a move, raising all in for 870,000 effective.
Henson of course called, and Daly would need some very dramatic help to avoid doubling up Henson.
The 3? on the turn changed nothing, leaving Daly one pull at a seven to fill his gutshot.
The dealer obliged, placing the 7? on the river, ending Henson's day in third place after battling throughout the final table to give himself a chance at the win.
