Donald Briggs Eliminated in 3rd Place ($176,564)
Level 39
: Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Donald Briggs was down to just 3,200,000 in the big blind, being nearly forced all-in. Song asked for all of it in the small blind and Briggs obliged.
Donald Briggs: Q♥2♣
Kevin Song: 6♦2♠
"Oh my God, you're a big favorite," said Song after slowly peeling his cards given that he didn't look preflop.
The 6♠ appeared in the window, followed by the J♥ and 7♣, giving Song the lead. The J♣ turn and 3♥ river offered no help to Briggs, and his impressive tournament run came to an end.
