Tom Marchese Eliminated in 3rd Place ($156,000)
Level 21
: 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Cary Katz, who recently took over the chip lead from Stephen Chidwick, limped with the 
and called when Tom Marchese raised to 240,000 holding 
in the small blind.
When the flop fell 
, Marchese bet he 600,000 pot and left himself 240,000 behind, which he called when Katz raised it.
The 
turn gave Katz a flush and left Marchese drawing dead. The meaningless 
was run out on the river and Marchese headed to the rail.
The final two players are now on a short break while the staff gets set up for heads-up play.
