Event 23: Gavin O’Rourke – 3rd Place ($51,100)

$1,100 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 31: 60,000/120,000/20,000 Ante

After a fast set of elimination in the $500,000 Guarantee, they settled in for a long battle once it was three-handed.

Gavin O’Rourke was the shortest of the three and finally made a move after David Elridge opened to 250,000. He put in his 1,020,000 stack and Eldridge called with Qc4h.

O’Rourke was ahead with AhTh but Eldridge hit the KsQs3d flop. O’Rourke had a gutshot draw with his over card and paired the Td turn. He had nine outs to the river but couldn’t find one on the 2s river to go out in 3rd place for $51,100.

Heads up counts:

David Eldridge: 5,100,000
Rubin Ybara: 6,090,000
