Jeffrey Gibralter Eliminated in 3rd Place ($107,148)
That momentum of Jeffrey Gibralter's just came to an abrupt halt in a big hand between himself and chip leader David Singontiko.
Gibralter opened with a raise to 130,000 from the button, Michael Yee folded, and Singontiko reraised the pot to 415,000. Gibralter thought a moment, then called the reraise, leaving himself about 920,000 behind.
The flop came 
. Singontiko sat quietly for a moment, then looked up at the dealer and said "pot." Before the chips were counted out, Gibralter said "call," thinking he was pushing all in. In fact he was committing all but 115,000 with the call, but the pair agreed to bet and call in the dark to get the rest in. Their cards were thus tabled before the turn arrived:
Singontiko 
Gibralter 
The turn was an especially bad card for Gibralter -- the 
-- giving Singontiko a full house and leaving Gibralter needing a friendly low card to win at least part of the pot. But the river was the 
, and Gilbralter is out in third.
Singontiko bumps up to 3.7 million, and will have a huge advantage over Michael Yee to start heads-up play. Yee has just 375,000.
