Imad Derwiche Eliminated in 3rd Place ($397,700)
Level 24
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Imad Derwiche raised the button to 700,000 and Nikolaos Lampropoulos three-bet the pot to 2,350,000, which Derwiche called with 3,075,000 behind.
The 5?4?2? flop saw Lampropoulos move all-in and Derwiche instantly called.
Imad Derwiche: A?10?4?3?
Nikolaos Lampropoulos: A?K?K?7?
Derwiche had outflopped the chip leader with a wheel, but Lampropoulos still had outs with running cards to either a full house or flush.
One of them came with the J? turn and sure enough, the 7? followed on the river to bring a cruel end to the run of Derwiche. He bows out in third place and earns $397,700 for the efforts, while the two remaining contenders are on a short break.
