Robert Meglich Eliminated in 3rd Place ($56,649)

Level 30 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Robert Meglich
Robert Meglich

Jay McVeigh opened to 250,000 from the button and was called by Robert Meglich out of the small blind. The two went heads up to a flop of {7-Spades}{4-Spades}{6-Spades}. Meglich checked to McVeigh, who made a continuation-bet of 300,000. Meglich check-raised all in and McVeigh called.

Robert Meglich: {q-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Jay McVeigh: {7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}

McVeigh was ahead with a pair and an open-ended straight flush draw. However, he needed to fade the spades in the deck that didn't give him a straight flush in addition to the queens and tens in the deck, all of which would give Meglich the best hand.

The turn came {a-Clubs}, leaving Meglich with one last chance to stay alive. The river fell {j-Clubs} to leave Meglich's draw unimproved with no cards to come, resulting in him becoming the third-place finisher in the tournament.

Two players now remain and the tournament is on a short break to get chip counts and arrange the money and trophy onto the table.
