Day 3 Live Updates

Edler Wins!

Winnar.
Winnar!

Bill Edler had built himself a 3-1 chip lead over Alex Bolotin and in the final hand of the match made a healthy pre flop raise holding A 10.

Bolotin pushed all in and although Edler admitted to PokerListings.com following the hand that he knew if Bolotin pushed in he was going to call, he thought about for a minute or two before making it.

In the lead, Bolotin felted the A Q and looked to double up, but that dream was quickly dashed when the flop came down 3 10 3.

A back door flush draw or a Queen remained his only hopes and it was down to one of the three remaining Queens when the turn came the 5. The 8 river gave Edler the well deserved victory.

Bolotin cashes $504,686 for second and Edler takes home $904,672 and the coveted WSOP Gold bracelet.

Alex Bolotin
Gutsy!

Alex Bolotin made the call holding K-6 when Greg Pohler pushed all in on the turn with the board reading K 10 5 J.

Bolitin sweated the decision for a few minutes and made the gutsy call with top pair and a weak kicker.

Pohler had Q-J and did not improve. He slips down to $1.2 million and Bolotin is in the lead now with around $2.4 million

Gioi Luong showed up, but didn't last long running K Q into Alex Bolotin's A K.
