Alec Torelli Eliminated in 3rd place ($517,525)
Adam Owen opened from the button to 2,400,000 and Alec Torelli defended the big blind.
The flop came 7♠4♣8♠ and Torelli checked raised all in, after Owen bet 2,400,00.
Torelli asked Owen, "Do you want to hear my quantum poker theory?".
Owen responded, "let's hear it," before making any further action. Torelli briefly recalled the Schrödinger's Cat thought experiment to the table and the rail, whilst Owen thought about the call.
Owen eventually moved his chips into the middle, calling Torelli's jam, and the players flipped their hands.
Alec Torelli: 9♠5♠
Adam Owen: J♠8♣
Owen was sitting on a pair of eights, whilst Torelli was hunting for either a straight or flush to keep him alive.
The 5♦ gave Torelli a pair of fives, which wasn't enough to put him ahead.
Owen's rail was calling for the 2♥, which came in on the river, confirming Torelli's elimination in 3rd.
