Guillaume Darcourt Eliminated in 3rd Place ($223,459)

Guillaume Darcourt - 3rd place
Guillaume Darcourt - 3rd place

Guillaume Darcourt opened to 125,000 from the small blind, and Jon Eaton called from the big to see a flop. It was an action flop of {6-Clubs} {9-Hearts} {5-Clubs}, and Darcourt continued out with a bet of 195,000. Eaton raised to 600,000, Darcourt shoved all in for about 1.6 million total, and Eaton quickly called with the covering stack to put the Frenchman at risk. Cards up, gents:

Darcourt: {6-Diamonds} {8-Spades} (middle pair)
Eaton: {4-Clubs} {7-Clubs} (open-ended straight flush draw)

Turn: {8-Clubs}

Bink, as they say in the parlance of our times. Darcourt stood from his chair with a sour look on his face, and his once-rowdy rail fell dead silent. Eaton's straight flush left him drawing dead, now resigned to his third-place fate. The {9-Spades} filled out the board, and that's going to be the last card of Darcourt's day. He's out two places shy of his goal, but he'll take just about a quarter-million-dollar consolation prize home with him instead.

We're now heads up for the bracelet, and either Jon Eaton or Ryan Welch will be notching their first WSOP title this evening.

"Who turns a straight straight flush three-handed at the WSOP?!" Eaton was heard saying to his friends on the rail.
