Carlos Guerrero Eliminated in 3rd Place ($109,474)
Big O
On the last hand before tournament officials were going to force the players to bag up for the night, Zhen Cai bet 300,000 on a flop of 7♥8♠4♠ before Carlos Guerrero potted to 1,200,000.
Cai called to the 10♥ turn, where Guerrero potted again for 2,900,000, a bet representing most of his stack. Cai stood up and studied the board for a moment before raising, and Guerrero called for the rest of his chips.
Guerrero had A♦9♣7♠4♣2♥ for the low and two pair, while Cai had Q♥J♣6♥5♥2♦ for a straight. The players were preparing to chop until the river came the 2♠, counterfeiting Guerrero's low and sending him to the rail in third place.
The floor gave Cai and William Leffingwell the option to continue, and they agreed to take a short 10-minute break before starting heads-up.
