Arul Thillai Eliminated in 3rd Place ($20,000)

Arul Thillai - 3rd Place
Arul Thillai - 3rd Place
Gary Benson raised from the button. Arul Thillai shoved all in from the small blind for 26,000. Benson quickly called.

Benson: {A-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Thillai:{9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Benson had Thillai dominated. The flop was {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{5-Spades}. The turn was the {A-Spades} and Thillai was drawing dead. The river was a meaningless {9-Clubs}. Arul Thillai finished in third place and won $20,000.

Down to two players. Gary Benson has a healthy 3 to 1 chiplead over Emad Tahtouh. There will be a short break. Action will resume in a couple of minutes.
