Taylor von Kriegenbergh Eliminated in 4th Place ($140,000)
With a Joe Hachem raise in front of him, Taylor von Kriegenbergh three-bet shoved for just about a million chips total. When it came back to Hachem, he instantly called, and von Kriegenbergh was at risk as the cards were on their backs.
Showdown
Hachem:
von Kriegenbergh:
The flop was a fine sight for Hachem, leaving his short-stacked opponent drawing dead to runner-runner. The turn was not what von Kriegenbergh was looking for as it sealed his fate as the fourth-place finisher.
That's good for $140,000, and it should be a fine consolation prize for the recent college graduate. "It's a good chunk of money," he said though. "It's about $100,000 more than I've made in any tourney."
It's a good result and a huge ROI for a guy who satellited into this event for about fifty bucks.
