Rob Edelstein Eliminated in 3rd Place ($42,328)

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Action folded to Rob Edelstein in the small blind and he opted to limp. The ever-aggressive Sunny Ali then raised 300,000 more from the big blind, and Edelstein responded by moving all in. Ali snap-called.

Edelstein: {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Ali: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}

It was a classic flip, but Edelstein needed to improve if he hoped to keep his title hopes alive. The {5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop didn't hit him directly, but it did give him a wheel draw to go with his overs. The {8-Spades} turn was a safe card for Ali, and all he needed to do was dodge a three, ace and ten on the river to score the knockout.

The dealer burned one last time and put out the {Q-Diamonds}. Edelstein missed and finished in third place for $42,328.

"I limped to induce," Edelstein explained to his friends after the hand.
