Antoine Rahal Eliminated in 3rd Place (€58,624)

Level 32 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
Antoine Rahal - 3rd place
Antoine Rahal - 3rd place

Antoine Rahal raised to 300,000 from the button and Ricardo Manquant called in the small blind before Miroslav Alilovic three-bet to 810,000 out of the big blind. Rahal shoved for 2,820,000 and Manquant got out of the way whereas Alilovic called:

Rahal: {Q-Clubs}?{8-Clubs}
Alilovic: {10-Spades}?{10-Clubs}

The player at risk was drawing dead after the {A-Hearts}?{3-Diamonds}?{10-Diamonds}?{3-Spades} turn and the meaningless {2-Diamonds} river was just a formality.
