Maxime Chilaud Eliminated in 3rd Place ($89,900)
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Maxime Chilaud shoved from the small blind for 2,825,000 and Sergei Varnaev called out of the big blind to put him at risk.
Maxime Chilaud: K?J? 
Sergei Varnaev: Q?9?
Chilaud was ahead but Varnaev had two live cards and had been running hot this level. The flop of 9?2?A? put Varnaev in the lead with a pair of nines. The Q? turn gave him two pair and could only lose to a ten on the river to give Chilaud a straight. The river came the 8? and Chilaud was out in third.
