Michael Duek Eliminated in 3rd Place ($548,015)
Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
After Shiva Dudani limped his small blind and Michael Duek checked his big blind, the flop came 
, and Dudani checked.
Duek bet 750,000 from his dwindling stack and Dudani came back with a pot-sized check-raise. Duek quickly moved the rest of his chips in and put himself at risk.
Michael Duek: 
Shiva Dudani: 
Dudani held top two pair while Duek held an overpair of nines, a flush draw, and a gutshot straight draw.
Despite his many outs, Duek couldn't connect with the 
turn or the 
river to end his day in third place and send the tournament to heads-up play between Dudani and Sean Troha.
