Steven Stolzenfeld Eliminated in 3rd Place ($124,850)
John Taylor folded on the button before David Guay open-jammed from the small blind, covering Stefan Stolzenfeld's stack of roughly 15 big blinds. Stolzenfeld snap called and a huge pot of over 60 million was created.
Steven Stolzenfeld: A♦K♥
David Guay: 10♥9♣
Once more, David Guay was behind preflop, and once again he would spring ahead on the flop when it came 10♦8♥4♥. Stolzenfeld was looking to hit an ace or a king on the turn, but the 10♣ came instead. There were no outs left now for Stolzenfeld, who announced that fact to his rail dejectedly.
The river came the meaningless 5♥ but Stolzenfeld had already left the felt, joining his rail for some consolation. The six-figure payout he received for finishing in third place would surely help ease the pain as well.
