Nathan Manuel (left) and Paul Sampson (right)
Main Event
Level 29: 60,000/120,000 with a 15,000 ante
Players Remaining: 3 of 500
Nathan Manuel moves all in from the small blind for about 750,000 and Paul Sampson calls out of the big blind.
Manuel tables [Kc][Js] and has Sampson’s [Ks][9h] dominated.
The flop is [9s][8d][2c] and Sampson spikes a three-outer to take the lead. Manuel needs a jack to stay alive, but the [5d] on the turn and the [7c] on the river send him home in fourth place with an extra $17,030 in his pocket.
Sampson wins the pot and has about 75% of the chips in play at the start of three-handed play.
Paul Sampson – 9,100,000
Nathan Manuel – Eliminated
