Guillaume Darcourt Eliminated in 3rd Place ($223,459)

Guillaume Darcourt - 3rd place
Guillaume Darcourt - 3rd place

Guillaume Darcourt opened to 125,000 from the small blind, and Jon Eaton called from the big to see a flop. It was an action flop of {6-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {5-Clubs}, and Darcourt continued out with a bet of 195,000. Eaton raised to 600,000, Darcourt shoved all in for about 1.6 million total, and Eaton quickly called with the covering stack to put the Frenchman at risk. Cards up, gents:

Darcourt: {6-Diamonds} {8-Spades} (middle pair)
Eaton: {4-Clubs} {7-Clubs} (open-ended straight flush draw)

Turn: {8-Clubs}

Bink, as they say in the parlance of our times. Darcourt stood from his chair with a sour look on his face, and his once-rowdy rail fell dead silent. Eaton's straight flush left him drawing dead, now resigned to his third-place fate. The {9-Spades} filled out the board, and that's going to be the last card of Darcourt's day. He's out two places shy of his goal, but he'll take just about a quarter-million-dollar consolation prize home with him instead.

We're now heads up for the bracelet, and either Jon Eaton or Ryan Welch will be notching their first WSOP title this evening.

"Who turns a straight straight flush three-handed at the WSOP?!" Eaton was heard saying to his friends on the rail.

Family Pot Produces Little Action

Our last three players -- Ryan Welch, Guillaume Darcourt and Jon Eaton -- each paid 100,000 in chips to see a flop of {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{a-Spades}. Action checked to Eaton, whose bet of 150,000 was called only by Welch. Both players then checked the turn {6-Clubs} and river {6-Hearts}. It was clear at showdown why there had been no further action: Welch's {k-Spades}{j-Spades} won the pot with aces and sixes, king kicker.

Welch Turns the Screws on Darcourt

Nothing is going right for Guillaume Darcourt since the players returned from the dinner break. His stack is under relentless attack from Jon Eaton and Ryan Welch. Welch checked and called a bet from Darcourt on a flop of {6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. Both players checked when a big card, the {k-Clubs}, hit the turn. Things got even hairier on the {j-Hearts} river. Welch checked again, inducing a bet of 150,000 from Darcourt. Welch then check-raised to a total of 475,000. Darcourt gave the matter some thought but ultimately released his hand.

Darcourt's stack has fallen all the way to 1.2 million.

Eaton Increases His Edge

Jon Eaton raised to 105,000 before the flop and Ryan Welch called to go heads up with him.

The dealer spread out a flop of {9-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {5-Spades}, and Eaton continued out with a bet of 135,000. Welch called quickly, and the {3-Diamonds} drew check-checks from both players on fourth street. On fifth, the {9-Spades} cued another bet from Eaton, 240,000 this time. Welch called quickly.

Eaton showed up {K-Hearts} {7-Hearts} for nines and sevens and that was the best hand. He drags the pot, increasing his chip lead over Welch just a bit.

Welch Pushes Back at Darcourt

Guillaume Darcourt has been dictating play at this final table, but in the last pot Ryan Welch pushed back at him. Welch opened pre-flop with a raise that Darcourt called form the small blind. Darcourt checked a flop of {a-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts} to Welch, who bet 104,000. Darcourt tried a check-raise to 260,000, but had to fold when Welch then four-bet him.

Eaton Back on Top

From the button, Guillaume Darcourt raised to 100,000 to open the pot. Small blind Jon Eaton three-bet to 280,000, and Darcourt quickly called the remainder to see a flop.

It came out {J-Spades} {7-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}, and Eaton continued out with a bet of 350,000. Darcourt didn't waste any time calling that bet either, and the {10-Clubs} landed on fourth street. Eaton checked this time, and he was the one calling quickly when Darcourt fired a bet of 375,000.

That put more than 2 million chips in the pot heading to the river {4-Clubs}, and both men were content to check it down. Eaton showed first, turning up {A-Hearts} {J-Clubs}. Darcourt double-checked his cards before sliding them to the muck, and Eaton's two pair are good for that big pot and thic chip lead.

Eaton - 3,350,000
Darcourt - 2,790,000
