Vladimir Geshkenbein has just eliminated Neil Arce from the High Roller's Event, setting the stage for a heads-up match between Geshkenbein and living poker legend Johnny Chan. Here's how the hand went down:

Arce opened the pot with a raise to 80,000 from the button. Geshkenbein made the call from the big and the flop came down {3-Diamonds}

. Geshkenbein passed the the first option to Arce who bet 160,000.

"I raise," announced Geshkenbein, who kicked it up to 440,000. Arce then paused before sliding his remaining stack into the middle and Geshkenbein snap-called, tabling a pocket pair of threes for bottom set. Arce was well behind with the {9-Hearts}
