Rokas Asipauskas Eliminated in 3rd Place ($174,050)

Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Blaz Zerjav raised to 400,000 from the button and Rokas Asipauskas defended the big blind to see a flop of 2?Q?K?.
Asipauskas check-called a bet of 300,000 and then checked after the dealer burned and turned the 8?.
Zerjav bet 1.2 million and Asipauskas burned his last time extension before calling.
Asipauskas, who had around 4.3 million behind, then checked for a third time after the J? completed the board on the river. Zerjav responded by moving all in and Asipauskas snap-called.
Rokas Asipauskas: K?Q?
Blaz Zerjav: 10?9?
Asipauskas confidently tabled his hand first and was left shell-shocked when Zerjav revealed he had hit a gutshot straight on the river.
"Wow," was all Asipauskas could muster as the dealer verified the stacks.
