Giovanni Marcacci Eliminated in 3rd Place ($129,760)

Giovanni Marcacci - 3rd Place
Giovanni Marcacci - 3rd Place
Giovanni Marcacci had the button in seat 4 and raised to 200,000. Bart Tichelman reraised from the small blind to 500,000 total. Marcacci made the call and it was heads-up to the flop of {9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}.

Tichelman was first to act and he moved all in. Marcacci stood up and paced around the stage, baffled. After about two minutes, Marcacci eventually called. The players showed:

Marcacci: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Tichelman: {A-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

Marcacci was in the lead but Tichelman was far from dead with an open-ended straight draw and an overcard. The turn came the {5-Diamonds} catapulting Tichelman into the lead. Marcacci needed an eight to win the pot, but the river brought the {2-Clubs}. Tichelman stacked the pot and has an enormous chip lead headed into heads-up play. Marcacci was eliminated in third place and leaves with $129,760.
