Taylor von Kriegenbergh Eliminated in 4th Place ($140,000)

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante
Taylor von Kriegenbergh - 4th place
Taylor von Kriegenbergh - 4th place

With a Joe Hachem raise in front of him, Taylor von Kriegenbergh three-bet shoved for just about a million chips total. When it came back to Hachem, he instantly called, and von Kriegenbergh was at risk as the cards were on their backs.

Showdown
Hachem: {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}
von Kriegenbergh: {K-Hearts} {10-Spades}

The {5-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds} flop was a fine sight for Hachem, leaving his short-stacked opponent drawing dead to runner-runner. The turn {8-Clubs} was not what von Kriegenbergh was looking for as it sealed his fate as the fourth-place finisher.

That's good for $140,000, and it should be a fine consolation prize for the recent college graduate. "It's a good chunk of money," he said though. "It's about $100,000 more than I've made in any tourney."

It's a good result and a huge ROI for a guy who satellited into this event for about fifty bucks.
