Increasing the Blinds

You're not mistaken by what you just saw, the level just went up. It hasn't been 75 minutes between levels, but the tournament staff and the players have decided to up the level much quicker this time around. We're not complaining.

Miller Takes the Lead

Ori Miller now leading

Ori Miller raised from the button to 65,000 and Peric Bukara called. The flop came down {J-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and both players checked to see the {9-Spades} fall on the turn. Bukara checked and Miller fired 80,000. Bukara made it 180,000 and Miller called.

The final community card was dealt the {6-Spades} and Bukara fired 240,000. Miller made it 600,000 and Bukara went into the tank. He lit up a cigarette and thought while Miller did the same. Eventually, Bukara folded and Miller moved to over two million in chips.

Andrew Feldman Eliminated in 3rd Place ($124,402)

Andrew Feldman - 3rd Place
Andrew Feldman - 3rd Place

Andrew Feldman's tournament has come to an end and the eliminator of "The Foldinator" or "The Feldinator" was Ori Miller.

Miller raised the button and made it 50,000 to go. Feldman shoved in from the big blind for roughly 380,000. Miller quickly called it off and the cards were tabled. Feldman held a dominated {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} to Miller's {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}.

The flop came down {J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Feldman was without help. The turn brought the {J-Clubs} and provided some help for Feldman in the form of outs to a chop. When the river hit with the {A-Diamonds} though, it was all over.

Feldman finished in third place, taking home just about five times the amount of the buy-in at $124,402. Miller is now heads up with Perica Bukara.

Break

The players are on another short break. There's only three left and we'll have some official counts coming for you in a minute.

Feldman Doubles Again

Perica Bukara was in the small blind again and moved all in to put Andrew "The Feldinator" Feldman all in. Feldman looked down at his first card and saw the {2-Clubs}. He then looked at the next card and saw the {A-Spades} and sat back in his chair for a moment before calling all in. Bukara held the {Q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}.

The board ran out {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and Feldman doubled up.

Feldman looked at his buddy Sam Trickett and said, "I almost folded." Trickett followed that up by calling him "The Foldinator".
