Steven Stolzenfeld Eliminated in 3rd Place ($124,850)
John Taylor folded on the button before David Guay open-jammed from the small blind, covering Stefan Stolzenfeld's stack of roughly 15 big blinds. Stolzenfeld snap called and a huge pot of over 60 million was created.
Steven Stolzenfeld: A?K?
David Guay: 10?9?
Once more, David Guay was behind preflop, and once again he would spring ahead on the flop when it came 10?8?4?. Stolzenfeld was looking to hit an ace or a king on the turn, but the 10? came instead. There were no outs left now for Stolzenfeld, who announced that fact to his rail dejectedly.
The river came the meaningless 5? but Stolzenfeld had already left the felt, joining his rail for some consolation. The six-figure payout he received for finishing in third place would surely help ease the pain as well.
