Aleksandr Shevelev Eliminated in 3rd Place ($18,728(
Level 31
: 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
After more than 4.5 hours of three-handed play an elimination occurred.
In the defining hand, Zachary Hammons raised to 300,000 from the button and Guillermo Reyes called from the small blind. Aleksandr Shevelev then three-bet to 1.25 million from the big and Hammons four-bet jammed for 5.875 million. Reyes folded and Shevelev snap-called.
Shevelev: 
Hammons: 
Hammons was in trouble but got lucky to take the lead when the 
flop paired his ace. Neither the 
turn nor 
river helped Shevelev and he was left with 650,000 after hand.
Three hands later, Shevelev moved all in from the small blind for 300,000 and Hammons called from the big.
Shevelev: 
Hammons: 
The board ran out 
and that was all she wrote for Shevelev.
