Hand #68: Ryan Hartmann Out in 3rd Place ($153,403)

Byron Kaverman moves all in from the small blind, and Ryan Hartmann (big blind) says, "It’s time to gamble." Hartmann calls with [QdJd], and Kaverman turns over [8c8h]. Hartmann will need to improve to stay alive.

The board comes [Qh7h5c6s9h], and Hartmann pairs his queen on the flop, only to see Kaverman catch a runner-runner nine-high straight to win the pot.

Ryan Hartmann is eliminated in third place, earning $153,403.

There will be a short break before heads-up play between Byron Kaverman and Noah Schwartz, who are nearly even in chips.
