Carlos Guerrero Eliminated in 3rd Place ($109,474)
Big O
On the last hand before tournament officials were going to force the players to bag up for the night, Zhen Cai bet 300,000 on a flop of 7?8?4? before Carlos Guerrero potted to 1,200,000.
Cai called to the 10? turn, where Guerrero potted again for 2,900,000, a bet representing most of his stack. Cai stood up and studied the board for a moment before raising, and Guerrero called for the rest of his chips.
Guerrero had A?9?7?4?2? for the low and two pair, while Cai had Q?J?6?5?2? for a straight. The players were preparing to chop until the river came the 2?, counterfeiting Guerrero's low and sending him to the rail in third place.
The floor gave Cai and William Leffingwell the option to continue, and they agreed to take a short 10-minute break before starting heads-up.
