James Park Eliminated in 3rd Place for ($108,196)

Level 24 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante
James Park - 3rd Place
James Park - 3rd Place

Hand #146: James Park called from the small blind, Josh Pollock checked his option and the flop fell {7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}. Park bet 50,000, Pollock called and the {3-Spades} turned. Park slowed down with a check and Pollock did the same. Action repeated itself on the {8-Hearts} river and Pollock showed {7-}{5-}{4-}{4-} for sevens and threes, which was good enough to win.

Hand #147: James Park opened for 80,000 from the button and Noah Schwartz defended from the big blind. Schwartz checked the {2-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop and Park bet 130,000. Schwartz then woke up with a check-raise to 350,000 and Park quickly folded.

Hand #148: Noah Schwartz raised to 100,000 from the small blind and won the pot.

Hand #150: James Park raised the pot (120,000) from the small blind and pushed Josh Pollock off the big blind.

Hand #151: Noah Schwartz got a walk in the big blind.

Hand #152: Noah Schwartz made it 120,000 from the small blind only to have James Park raise the pot. Schwartz three-bet it and Park called off.

Park: {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{q-Spades}{3-Hearts}
Schwartz: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

Park got it in with a pair of queens but was behind Schwartz's kings. The {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} flop paired Schwartz's ace and kept him in the lead. The {k-Spades} turn improved Schwartz to a set and left Park in need of either a jack or club on the river, but the {10-Spades} was no help. Park was eliminated in third place for $108,090.
