Nghia "3 Putts" Le Eliminated in 3rd Place ($91,221)
Stud Eight or Better
Nghia "3 Putts" Le: A♠6♣/K♠9♥5♠A♣/Xx
Yuri Dzivielevski: A♦8♥/7♦Q♣10♥Q♦/Xx
Le and Dzivielevski quickly hit the raise cap, pushing out Randy Ohel. Dzivielevski then bet before fourth street was dealt, and Le called to put himself all in.
Le's aces were good until seventh street, when Dzivielevski pulled the 8♣ to give him two pair. The pro-Dzivielevski crowd erupted. Le smiled, and politely asked that should he lose the hand, if the crowd could please not chant for Dzivielevski until after he had exited. That drew a huge laugh from everyone, including Dzivielevski.
Le then offered to sweat his final card with Dzivielevski. They both slowly looked at Le's final card, which was the Q♥. Unable to improve, Le exited the tournament area in third place.
