Event 1: 3rd Place - Veliu

$500 + $60 Big Stack NLH (Re-Entry)

Alida Veliu (Wyckoff, NJ) 
$155,639

Blinds 400k/800k/100k ante 

After shipping a double-up to Maksim Rozenfeld and becoming the short stack three-handed, Veliu sends the rest of her chips to Rozenfeld.

Rozenfeld, Veliu & Dan Wach see a flop of Q 10 3 and all three players check.

Turn: 2

Rozenfeld bets 1.7 million, Wach folds, Veliu makes it 4 million, Rozenfeld moves all in and Veliu calls 14 million more and is at risk.

Veliu: A 10 (Ace high)
Rozenfeld: Q7 (pair of Queens)

Rozenfeld hits trips on the river to win the hand and takes his stack to 40 million.

Veliu finishes in third place for $155,639.

"I'm estatic right now," says Veliu, who quadruples her career tournament earnings.

"This is a different caliber than I'm used to, so I'm satisfied. I had a dream last night that I beat Dan (Wach) heads up, but dreams don't always come true."

Heads Up Chip Counts

Dan Wach 50 million
Maksim Rozenfeld 40 million
