Ville Mattila Eliminated in 3rd Place ($354,218)
Ville Mattila pot-raised from the button, and Daniel Alaei re-potted from the small blind. Mattila called all in, and he was at risk all over again as the cards were turned up:
Mattila:
Alaei:
The flop was in Mattila's neighborhood again as it came to pull him into a big lead with two cards to come. It looked like it was poised to be another Mattila double for a moment, but the crashed down on fourth street, giving Alaei the set of kings and leaving his opponent dead to an ace. The river was officially not an ace, and Mattila has finally been dispatched of. He worked his way to an impressive third-place finish here this week, and he'll be rewarded with more than $350,000 for his efforts
