Ben Boyd Eliminated in 3rd Place ($182,730)

[user66118]

Scott Clements limped into the pot from the button, Daniel Alaei completed from the small blind, and Ben Boyd tapped the felt.

The flop came out {5-Hearts}

. Alaei led out into the pot with 80,000, and Boyd moved all in for another 10,000 on top. Both Clements and Alaei called, and Boyd was now at risk of elimination.

Fourth street came the {K-Hearts}

, and both live players checked. When the {3-Clubs}

hit the river though, Alaei fired again. Clements heard the music and let his hand go.

Showdown
Alaei: {K-Spades}

Boyd:

Alaei made his straight to the six, and his hand was the winner. With that, Ben Boyd becomes our 3rd-place finisher, taking home more than $180,000 for his efforts.
