Adam Geyer Eliminated in 3rd Place ($328,810)

[user66118]

Level 31 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

When Darryl Ronconi folded his button, Adam Geyer shoved all in for just less than a million chips. In the big blind, Antonin Teisseire quickly called, and his French contingent in the stands rose to their feet as they smelled a knockout.

Showdown
Geyer: {K-Clubs} {7-Clubs}
Teisseire: {A-Diamonds} {9-Spades}

Geyer needed to improve to stay alive, but he would find no help from the dealer. The board ran {4-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {j-Spades} {3-Spades} {9-Clubs} , and that was that. The mighty king-axe betrays him, and Adam Geyer becomes our third-place finisher. It probably wasn't what he envisioned when he went to bed as the chip leader last night, but he was more-or-less fortunate to ladder up one spot after that crippling cooler early this afternoon. He'll be rewarded with $328,810.
