Rokas Asipauskas Eliminated in 3rd Place ($174,050)
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Blaz Zerjav raised to 400,000 from the button and Rokas Asipauskas defended the big blind to see a flop of 2♣Q♠K♦.
Asipauskas check-called a bet of 300,000 and then checked after the dealer burned and turned the 8♠.
Zerjav bet 1.2 million and Asipauskas burned his last time extension before calling.
Asipauskas, who had around 4.3 million behind, then checked for a third time after the J♦ completed the board on the river. Zerjav responded by moving all in and Asipauskas snap-called.
Rokas Asipauskas: K♣Q♥
Blaz Zerjav: 10♦9♦
Asipauskas confidently tabled his hand first and was left shell-shocked when Zerjav revealed he had hit a gutshot straight on the river.
"Wow," was all Asipauskas could muster as the dealer verified the stacks.
