Big Hands:
Dobrilovic Put To a Decision For All His Chips
The player in seat 5 raised to 28,000 from the cutoff. The action was then on Tom Dobrilovic on the button and he repopped it to 100,000. The small blind folded, but the big blind moved all in for over 300,000, having Dobrilovic covered. Seat 5 got out of the way and Dobrilovic went into the tank. He looked back at the board and mucked his hand, perhaps not wanting to put his tournament life on the line with this amount of people remaining. His stack took a big hit as he was at 170,000 after the hand.
Watkinson Makes Right Move
Lee Watkinson raised to 25,000 preflop from middle position and the action folded to the big blind. He came over the top for 50,000 more. Watkinson tanked, then mucked his hand face up, 3 3 . His opponent returned the favor as he showed K K . Watkinson was at 130,000 after the hand.
Armstrong Uses The Strong Hand
Jaime Armstrong faced off against the player in seat 3, in a battle that ended up nearly doubling his already enormous stack. On the preflop Armstrong threw in 25,000 driving everyone at the table to fold except for the player in seat 3 who decided to throw all-in, which was a stack of 244,000. Without a flinch Armstrong called and the showdown commenced. The player in seat 3 flipped an A-10 and Armstrong threw in pocket J’s. The board fell Q 2 3 8 9 and Armstrong’s J’s held up giving him a stack of roughly 500,000 in chips putting him well within the top 5 in the grueling stages of the tournament.

Tom Dobrilovic WinsEvent #13 ($85,120)! Mikael Thuritz Eliminated in 2nd Place ($47,290)

The turn and the river fell 3  3  , and Dobrilovic claimed victory yet again here at the Bellagio Cup III. The final table only lasted 40 minutes.
Dobrilovic is definitely running hot, as he made a final table earlier this year at the Event #27 at the World Series. Thuritz, who finished in 41st place last year in the Main Event at he World Series earned $47,290 for 2nd today. Dobrilovic takes home $85,120 for his victory, but because the prize pool was below $200,000 he does not win a seat in the WPT Championship. Forturnately he's already locked one up.
