Willie Tann Eliminated in 3rd Place (£71,184)
After all this drama, the final three hands of Willie Tann's tournament were played not with the chip leader but against Jeffrey Lisandro. Lisandro won all three - the first two small ones taken with a bet on the flop, but the third was a preflop confrontation, with small blind Tann raising pot (committing his 140k) and Lisandro nodding the assent.

Tann shook his head slowly as the flop came giving his opponent two pair, and the turn did nothing to improve his hand while the river rubbed it in by making Lisandro a full house to send him to the rail. Still, back to back finals this year at the WSOPE - pretty impressive.
