There has never been a double elimination to end the WSOP main event, but a three-way all in put the tournament on the brink of being Scott Blumstein's. After Benjamin Pollak bet all in for 35.2 million with Qc-Td, Dan Ott shoved over the top for 45.8 million with Kc-9d. After thinking for a moment, Blumstein called with Ah-Qs and put both of his opponents at risk with the best hand. The Kd-Jc-3d flop put Ott ahead and gave Pollak six outs, while Blumstein was reduced to just three. The 4c turn and 6s river kept Ott's hand best, putting him at less than a 2-to-1 disadvantage going into heads-up play, and Pollak was out in 3rd place for $3.5 million. (AP Photo / John Locher)
