Gregg Bloom Eliminated in 3rd Place ($10,000)
Level 30
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Gregg Bloom raised on the button with Q♦10♦ to 1,200,000, leaving himself 1,700,000 behind. Ian Auvil called in the small blind with 3♠3♥.
The flop came J♠9♦3♣ and Auvil moved all in with his set of threes. Bloom called with his open-ended straight draw.
The turn though was the 9♥, filling up Auvil to cinch the hand. Just for good measure, he drilled the 3♦ on the river to make quads and bring the tournament to heads-up play between Auvil and Ronald Kaepernick.
