Wayne Mernone finishes in 3rd place winning $16,622.

Avik Mittal opened the action for 200K and with only fifteen big blinds left in his stack, Wayne Mernone looked down at the A♣9♠ and decided that was a good enough hand to move all in with. Unfortunately for Wayne, Avik had a big hand - pocket jacks. The flop came 5♣3♥2♠ giving Wayne a gutshot to go with his overcard. The turn was the Q♠ and the river was the Q♣ and we were now heads up with Avik having a 5.9 million to 2.3 million chip advantage over Wendy Freedman.
