Hand #143: Scott Seiver raised to 350,000 from the small blind and Connor Drinan called from the big. The {5-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop saw Seiver bet 325,000, and Drinan called to see the {Q-Clubs} turn. Seiver bet 800,000 and Drinan released.

Hand #144: Seiver raised to 250,000 from the button, Rast called from the big blind, and the flop fell {3-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}. Rast checked, Seiver did too, and the {K-Hearts} peeled off on the turn. Two more checks brought the {3-Clubs} on the river, and Rast checked for a third time. Seiver bet 175,000 and Rast called with the {k-Clubs}{8-Spades} for a pair of kings. It was good as Seiver mucked.

Hand #145: Rast limped the small blind, Seiver checked from the big, and the flop came down {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades}. Rast bet 160,000 and Seiver folded.

Hand #146: Rast raised to 250,000 from the button, Drinan moved all in from the big blind for 3,120,000 and Rast called.

Rast: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Drinan: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Seiver's eights had just crippled Rast, and now it looked as if the snowman would do him in. The {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop didn't change a thing, but the {8-Hearts} 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 {K-Diamonds} 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.
