Carelli took the lead early on in the day and never relinquished it until he doubled-up Christopher Goudreault when his pocket jacks lost to Goudreault’s flopped set of fours. He did his best to remain in the game and later on when he flopped a gutshot straight flush draw against Goudreault, his chips went in. As fate would have it, Goudreault easily made the call after having flopped top pair. Goudreault’s pair of queens held and Carelli’s deep run came to an end in third place.

Third Place: Matteo Carelli, $870
