Troy Erickson Eliminated in 3rd Place ($86,774)

Troy Erickson - 3rd place
Troy Erickson - 3rd place

David Zeitlin called Troy Erickson's preflop all in, and had him crushed.

Showdown

Zeitlin{a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Erickson{a-Hearts}{3-Clubs}

The {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{a-Clubs} flop was pretty perfect for Zeitlin, but the {k-Spades} on the turn gave both players the exact same hand.

"King!" someone on the rail shouted.

The {k-Clubs} spiked on the river, giving Zeitlin the best hand again, and eliminating Erickson from the tournament. The rail erupted in cheers, and Erickson and Zeitlin gave each other a big hug.

The two friends are on a short, ten-minute break, and when they resume they'll be playing for $191,194, the ring, and a seat in the $1 million National Championship.
