Nathan Baum opened for 135,000 from the button holding the  ah 6c and Luke Arora called from the small blind with the  10c 7c. MSPT Pro Matt Alexander then called from the big blind with the  10s 8s and all three players saw a flop of  6s qh 4s.

Two checks saw Baum continue for 190,000, Arora folded, and Alexander check-raised to 550,000. Baum seemed suspicious and opted to call only to have Alexander move all in for 1.1 million on the  9d river.

Baum paused for a few moments and, clearly not a believe, made the call. Baum was ahead, but Alexander was drawing big to 19 outs. The dealer burned one last time and put out the  3s.

Alexander spiked his flush and a disappointed Baum was eliminated from the tournament in third place for $32,604, the largest cash of his career.
