Jeremy Ausmus Eliminated in 3rd Place ($190,000)
Victor Ramdin folded his button, perhaps sensing the big pot that was about to unfold. From the small blind, Jeremy Ausmus opened to 225,000, and Joe Hachem defended his big to see a flop.
It came out , and Ausmus continued out with 280,000 more chips. It didn't work. Hachem shoved all in, and Ausmus made the call for his tournament life, committing his final ~1.9 million to the pot.
Showdown
Ausmus:
Hachem:
Hachem's top pair was in the front, and he was two cards away from sending this match into heads-up play.
The turn was another blank, and the left Ausmus dead to six outs.
River:
That's not going to change anything, and it's not going to save Ausmus from taking the walk to the payout desk. He'll collect $190,000 for his efforts here this week, and that's not too shabby for five days' work.
