David Cossio Eliminated in 3rd Place ($79,490)
Hand 134 - Moncada has the button in seat 2, Cossio limps from the small blind, and Hudak checks his option from the big blind. The flop comes 5s-4d-2d, Cossio bets $30,000, Hudak raises to $122,000, and Cossio calls. He thought he was all in, but Cossio actually has $2,000 left after the call, so the cards won't be revealed until somebody bets the turn. The turn card is the 7h, and the final $2,000 is bet and called. Hudak shows 4s-3h for a pair and an open-ended straight draw, while Cossio has As-Qd (two overcards). Cossio needs to catch a queen to stay alive, as an ace will make his opponent a straight. Sure enough, the river card is the Ah, and David Cossio is eliminated in third place, earning $79,490.
The next player eliminated will receive $159,970 for second place, while the winner will claim $298,070 and a coveted World Series of Poker bracelet.
Update
Hand 132 - Cossio has the button in seat 9, Hudak limps from the small blind, and Moncada checks his option. The flop comes Ks-8c-5h, Hudak bets $20,000, and Moncada calls. The turn card is the 2s, Hudak bets $50,000, and Moncada folds.
With that pot, Steve Hudak has just taken the chip lead.
Hand 133 - Hudak has the button in seat 1, and he limps for $16,000, Moncada raises to $51,000, and Hudak folds.

Shah Ajay Eliminated in 4th Place ($69,550)
Hand 131 - Ajay has the button in seat 7, and he raises to $54,000, Hudak reraises, and Ajay quickly calls all in. Ajay shows Ah-Qh, while Hudak has pocket jacks (Js-Jh). It's a race situation, and the flop comes 8h-6s-2c, and Ajay needs a queen, an ace, or running hearts to stay alive. The turn card pairs the board with the 8s, and Ajay needs a queen or an ace. The river card is the 4h, and Shah Ajay is eliminated in fourth place, earning $69,550.
The next player eliminated will receive $79,490 for third place.

The flop comes 9c-8s-4c, and Hudak has solidified his lead with a pair of eights. Ajay needs to catch a king, running fives, or a runner-runner straight.
