William Butcher Eliminated in 3rd Place ($99,961)
Level 39
: Blinds 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante
William Butcher raised to 5,000,000 on the button. Kelly Gall jammed in the small blind and Steven Genovese quickly called from the big blind.
Butcher briefly entered the tank with a big decision to make. Eventually he called, setting up a massive three-way all in with almost every chip in play in the middle and all three players with their cards face up and headed to a runout.
William Butcher: A♠K♣
Kelly Gall: A♣10♦
Steven Genovese: Q♦Q♠
With the entire tournament basically on the line, the board ran out 9♠J♠Q♣6♣J♣, securing Genovese an absolutely massive pot that leaves Gall with just three big blinds and sends Butcher to the rail in third place for $99,961.
