Robert Natividad - 2nd place 

Don Zewin Eliminated in 3rd Place ($25,470)

Just two hands later, Don Zewin got his short stack of eight big blinds or so in preflop, and he was in good shape, holding [Kh][8d] to the [10h][8c] of Mario Lopez. However, the flop of [10c][7d][5h] flipped the script, and now Zewin was looking for a three outer.

It wouldn't come, as the board finished out [5d] and [3s].

This leaves us heads up, with Lopez holding a massive lead of around 21 million to the nine million of Robert Natividad.

Vontray Gardner Eliminated in 4th Place ($19,290)

Blinds: 75,000-150,000

Mario Lopez raised to 500,000 under the gun, and Vontray Gardner defended his big blind. The flop came down [10h][8d][3c], and Gardner open shoved all in for his final 3.5 million or so. Lopez quickly called with [10s][7s] for top pair, and he was ahead of the [Kh][8d] of Gardner.

The turn [5d] and river [3s] changed nothing, and Lopez celebrated as he dragged another monster pot. With that hand, Lopez has over 20 million of the 30 million chips in play three handed.
