Andrew Badecker Eliminated in 3rd Place ($224,029)

Brent Hanks raised to 100,000 on the button, Andrew Badecker three-bet to 250,000 in the small blind, Brent Hank four-bet to 540,000 and the pressure was right back on Badecker. How was his state of mind after that huge hand with Bazeley?
"I am all-in," said Badecker.
Hanks called and when Badecker saw the hand of his opponent his face stared up at the heavens.
