Willie Tann Eliminated in 3rd Place (��71,184)

[user46298]

After all this drama, the final three hands of Willie Tann's tournament were played not with the chip leader but against Jeffrey Lisandro. Lisandro won all three - the first two small ones taken with a bet on the flop, but the third was a preflop confrontation, with small blind Tann raising pot (committing his 140k) and Lisandro nodding the assent.

Tann: {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {6-Hearts}
Lisandro: {A-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}

Tann shook his head slowly as the flop came {7-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} giving his opponent two pair, and the {3-Spades} turn did nothing to improve his hand while the {7-Spades} river rubbed it in by making Lisandro a full house to send him to the rail. Still, back to back finals this year at the WSOPE - pretty impressive.
