Wesley Cannon Eliminated in 3rd Place ($77,194)
"All in," announced Wesley Cannon on the button, shoving a stack of around 5 million. Timothy Gundrum looked down at his cards and deliberated for 15 seconds.
"I'll call," Gundrum said. Jim Erickson folded his big blind and the two were off to the races.

Timothy Gundrum: 
Cannon was unable to win his second consecutive coin flip to pull close to even with Gundrum as the board ran out 
, giving Gundrum trips on the flop to improve him to the best hand. Cannon's third-place finish earned him a score of $77,194, more than double his prior lifetime earnings to date of $32,000.
Meanwhile, Timothy Gundrum now takes a commanding chip lead into heads-up play against Jim Erickson for the MSPT Riverside trophy, which is on display in the middle of the table for the soon-to-be-named champion.
