Garrett Taylor just dealt a huge blow to Bob Chow. The hand began with Taylor raising to 250K preflop, and Chow called. The flop came 9♥ 3♣ K♣, and Chow checked, with Taylor checking behind. With an 8♠ on the turn, Chow bet 350K, and Taylor called. The river came 7♣ and Chow bet 500K. After some contemplation, Taylor raised all-in with his 1.325 million chip stack. After equally lengthy contemplation, Chow called and was dismayed to see Taylor turn over his A♣ 4♣ for the flush.

Congratulations to Ryan Bambrick from Las Vegas, NV who finished eighth in our DeepStack Showdown Event #3 $250 NLH $200K GTD winning $7,803.

After Bambrick went all-in short-stacked with his 6♠ 4♦, Mike Zulker called with his Q♠ 3♥. A K♦ K♥ 10♠ 10♦ 8♦ board spelled the end of Bambrick’s tournament life.

Congratulations to Bob Whalen from Las Vegas, NV who finished ninth in our DeepStack Showdown $250 NLH $200K GTD winning $6,302.

Alas, Whalen’s pocket threes didn’t hold up against Kozman Elkems’ J♦ A♦ when an Ace came on the flop. Four board hearts gave Whalen a glimmer of hope, but he was ultimately eliminated.

Congratulations to Mike Christiansen from Las Vegas, NV who finished tenth in our DeepStack Showdown Event #3 $250 NLH $200K GTD winning $5,083.

The hand started with Christiansen leading out with 250K and was called by both Mike Zulker and Sam Vizza. After a 6♣ 2♥ 3♦ flop, Christiansen placed a c-bet of 300K. Vizza folded and Zulker called. With a 10♠ on the turn, Christiansen checked, Zulker bet 750K, and Christiansen went all-in with his final 3.3 million chips and pocket Kings, but was dismayed when Zulker flipped over his pocket threes.

We have made it to our final table. Here are our lucky (and highly skilled) remaining ten players and chip counts.

Garrett Taylor: 3.225 million
Mike Christiansen: 3.615 million
