Oliver Price Eliminated in 3rd Place (�271,200)
Sotirios Koutoupas opened the small blind to 250,000 holding 
. Oliver Price didn't have all that many big blinds left anymore and pushed all in with 
from the big blind. Snap call by Koutoupas.
Commentator Joe Stapleton jokingly said that Koutoupas would have this confrontation locked up after the flop, the way he has been running this final table.
"Ha!" Stapleton shouted as the 
window card became visible. The 
and 
that accompanied the queen for the flop gave Price something of a chance. Only one out of twenty times would Price still win this certain situation though.
"So you're telling me there's a chance?!"
The 
on the turn turned Price's 5% hand into an 18% hand. With an up and down, every ten and five would now give him the much needed double up. All other cards would mean he was out.
The river was a 
and the fairy tale was over for Price. Price, who wasn't planning on playing this event until Dominik Nitsche convinced him, walks away with �271,200 during his second ever EPT.
