Jon Turner Eliminated in 3rd Place ($274,005)

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Jon Turner Packs It In

Sean Getzwiller folded from the button and following his plan of hyper aggression before the flop, Sadan Turker shoved all-in on a short stacked Jon Turner.

Turner squeezed his cards and when he saw the {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} he immediately made the call to put his tournament life at risk. Turker appeared to be stunned by the call and showed his {Q-Spades}{4-Diamonds} with disgust. Turner was in great shape to double up and needed the dealer to do him justice.

Flop: {A-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{J-Clubs}

The man known as "PearlJammer" online had survived the flop and needed to avoid the three queens in the deck to survive his all-in confrontation.

Turn: {Q-Clubs}

When the dealer revealed the dagger of a turn card, Turner stood up and tapped the table as he began packing up his belongings. He would need to spike an eight on the river to stay alive.

River: {9-Diamonds}

The players all had to look back and check that the eight of diamonds had not fallen, but when they saw that it was indeed a nine, Turner began the long, lonely walk to the cashier's cage, having come tantalizingly close to claiming his first WSOP bracelet.

Getzwiller Gets Aces, Grabs Chip Chip Lead

After Jon Turner folded from the button, Sean Getzwiller raised to 165,000 and Sadan Turker decided to shove all-in. Getzwiller snap-called with authority in his voice and tabled his {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}, standing up to await the flop. Turker flipped up his {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} with disappointment and found himself hunting for ducks.

The flop rained down {4-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and Getzwiller's aces had held up so far. The turn fell {9-Hearts} and Turker now needed to spike a deuce and a deuce only on the river to claim the pot.

River: {Q-Hearts}

With that, Getzwiller had doubled his stack of 3,090,000 to just over 6 million and took the chip lead early on in this final table. After the hand, Getzwiller told the other players that he had already had pocket aces earlier in the match, meaning he is running extremely well to start the evening.
