Ian Matakis Eliminated in 3rd Place ($205,696)
Matthew Parry raised to 1,400,000 from the button and Dustin Goldklang called from the small blind.
Ian Matakis was in the big blind and called all in for slightly less than the raise to send all the players to the 8?A?6? flop.
Both Goldklang and Parry checked to bring the 6? out on the turn.
Goldklang checked once again and Parry decided to toss out a bet of 2,000,000. Goldklang quickly folded to send the other two players to the river with Matakis at risk.
Ian Matakis: K?J?9?3?
Matthew Parry: K?10?8?6?
Once the cards were on their backs, it became apparent that Matakis was drawing dead headed to the river.
The dealer burned a card and placed the inconsequential J? on the river to end Matakis' run at a second bracelet of the summer and send him home in third place for $205,696.
