The 15 remaining players of WSOP Event #10 $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em/Six Handed were after the golden bracelet on Day 3. Online pro Jeffrey ‘jpapola’ Papola led the field that also included Alexander Wice, David Vamplew, Ravi Raghavan and Anthony Spinella with 1,088,000 in chips. The 6-handed final table was played down to at Level 23 (3,000/10,000/20,000):
First to be eliminated was Spinella: the American pro raised to $55,000 from the Button, SB Bryan Colin 3-bet $150,000 and BB Papola, having Spinella’s stack counted (660,000), went all-in. Spinella called but Colin took his time considering his move, saying “I don't think I can fold this hand.” He eventually did fold his pocket jacks which turned out to be a wise decision.

Once again, the flush for Blumenthal sent his opponent to the rail and it also provided him with an almost 10:1 lead over Klein.
However, the patient Klein at this point wound things it up and doubled up multiple times until he was in the lead by Level 28. Blumenthal failed to recover his position and eventually was all-in with7 7 . Klein called with A K ; although Blumenthal did pick up yet another flush on the 8 5 5 K Q board, this time Klein had the nuts.
