Carter Gill Eliminated in 14th Place ($12,213)

We just had a monstrous three-way all in over at Table 3. All of the chips of Carter Gill, Joel Micka, and Andrew Chen were committed to the pot preflop, with Micka having both men well covered.

Showdown:
Gill: {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades}
Micka: {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds}
Chen: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades}

As a crowd of media and spectators gathered around the table, the dealer ran out the board: {5-Clubs} {5-Spades} {10-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {3-Diamonds}. Neither of the players holding big slick could find any of their outs, and Andrew Chen earns a near-triple up. He began the hand with right around 90,000, and he now sits with more than 250,000!

It wasn't a full triple up, as Chen had Carter Gill slightly covered. Gill has become a fixture on the international tournament circuit, and his performance here this week proves his prowess even further. Gill was down to just 2,800 chips early on Day 1, with the blinds at 150-300. He rallied hard to close the day though, finishing with nearly 70,000! He was a bit up and down today as well, but he notches another deep finish, taking home more than $12,000 for his work.
