Final 3; Still Lots of Play

Level 33 : 75,000/150,000, 18,750 ante

The final three players are all pretty equal in chips and they are also around 50 big blinds deep. With a lot of money still to play for, this tournament shows no indication of ending anytime soon without some coolers happening.

Level: 33

Blinds: 75,000/150,000

Ante: 18,750

"IWant2Gamble" Eliminated in 4th Place ($18,144.72)

Level 32 : 62,500/125,000, 15,625 ante

"PokerMogo" raised from the button and "IWant2Gamble" moved all-in from the big blind with his short stack. "PokerMogo" called and was in a dominating position.

"IWant2Gamble": {A-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
"PokerMogo": {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

The board ran out {10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and "IWant2Gamble" was eliminated in 4th place but still takes home some nice cash. "PokerMogo" continues to add to his chip lead.
