Default Hand #229 (MB Takes 3rd)

Hand #229 where MB is eliminated and takes 3rd.
The blinds have been increased to $20K-$40K with a $50,000 ante.
The updated chip counts are:
Jamie Gold.........$64,000,000
Paul Wasicka......$14,000,000
Michael Binger.....$11,000,000

Gold limps from the button and Wasicka limps from the small blind. Michael Binger raises to $1,500,000 from the big blind. Both Gold and Wasicka call and the flop comes T65. Wasicka checks, Binger bets $3,500,000 and Gold moves all in. Wasicka folds and Binger calls. Binger shows A10 and Gold turns over 43 for an open ended straight draw. The turn is the 7 and Gold makes a straight. The river is the Q and Michael Binger is eliminated in 3rd place.

Gold had a lot of chips to play with, but how lucky can a guy get.
MB's only mistake probably was that he didn't go all-in pre-flop.
Easy to say after-the-fact, huh. AT is pretty good in a threesome.
