Benjamon Brinkley raised to 225,000 from the button and Nikhil Gera jammed from the small blind. Mehdi Saleh called all in for about 1,100,000 in the big blind and Brinkley folded.
Saleh: A♠K♦
Gera: J♥J♣
The 8♦Q♦9♥ flop had Gera as a favorite and the J♦ turn gave him a set. Saleh still had flush and straight outs, but the 4♠ river bricked out and Saleh was eliminated in third place for $8,306.
Benjamon Brinkley – 4,300,000
Nikhil Gera – 3,625,000
