Drinan:

Seiver's eights had just crippled Rast, and now it looked as if the snowman would do him in. The flop didn't change a thing, but the turn sure as did! Rast spiked a full house, and just like that Drinan went from a massive favorite to knocking on elimination's door. The river proved to be the final nine in Drinan's coffin, and he had to settle for third place and $3,225,000 in prize money.

"Poker is all skill," Seiver joked after the hand.
