Jared Bleznick Eliminated in 3rd Place ($90,640)

Omaha Hi-Lo

Smith Sirisakorn raised from the button, and small blind Jameson Painter called. Jared Bleznick, who had less than two big bets total, called, as well.

Painter checked on the {J-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop, and Bleznick didn't hesitate to bet, leaving himself 20,000 behind. Sirisakorn announced he was raising, and Painter folded. Bleznick moved his remaining chips into the middle.

Jared Bleznick: {K-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades}
Smith Sirisakorn: {A-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{9-Spades}

Bleznick was drawing slim, hoping for another six or a king in addition to several runner-runner possibilities.

The {Q-Spades} gave Bleznick a gutshot straight draw, but the {2-Hearts} river sealed his fate. His sixes and deuces were second to Sirisakorn's jacks up, and Bleznick left the tournament in third place for a $90,640 payday.

Sirisakorn and Painter took a short break before their final battle started, with Painter holding a three-to-two chip lead.

Omaha Hi-Lo

From the button, Jared Bleznick raised to 120,000, and Jameson Painter called in the big blind.

The flop fell {7-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Clubs}, and Painter checked to Bleznick, who bet 60,000. Painter called and checked the {J-Clubs} on the turn. Bleznick bet 120,000. Painter announced a raise, and Bleznick committed his last 215,000 total.

Bleznick: {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{3-Diamonds}
Painter: {A-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

The river landed the {6-Spades}, and Painter took the high with his straight. They both played the same low, and Bleznick was quartered.

Painter Hits Runner-Runner

Level 27 : 60,000/120,000, 0 ante

Omaha Hi-Lo

Smith Sirisakorn raised from the small blind, and Jameson Painter defended his big blind.

Sirisakorn continued on the {7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop, and Painter called again. The {J-Diamonds} turn brought a change of direction, as Sirisakorn slowed down with a check, leaving the action to Painter. He bet, and Sirisakorn check-called. The {J-Hearts} river saw Sirisakorn check-call again, but he couldn't beat Painter's {J-Clubs}{7-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for runner-runner jacks full.

Stud Hi-Lo

Jared Bleznick lost a huge pot against Smith Sirisakorn, calling his raise on third street and three additional bets on the following streets. Sirisakorn showed a pair of queens, and Bleznick lamented, "Can't beat that. Every seventh street is just a brick."

That hand led to a confrontation that occurred in the following hand. Bleznick, down to 345,000, tangled with Larry Tull, who had an even-shorter stack in front of him.

Tull completed, Bleznick raised, and Tull three-bet. Bleznick called, and Tull's remaining chips went in on fourth street.

Larry Tull: {Q-Hearts}{8-Clubs} / {8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Jared Bleznick: {J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} / {9-Spades}{6-Spades}

Bleznick received another two sixes on fifth and sixth, improving to a full house. Tull was drawing dead on sixth street, still having only a pair of eights without a chance to make a low hand.

Larry Tull: {Q-Hearts}{8-Clubs} / {8-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{5-Spades} / {J-Diamonds}
Jared Bleznick: {J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} / {9-Spades}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} / {2-Hearts}

Tull departed in fourth place, earning $62,796, while Bleznick recovered a bit from the previous loss.
