But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God, for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore unto thy fathers, as it is this day. (Deuteronomy 8:18)

Israeli poker professional Amir Lehavot exited the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas on Tuesday in third place, amassing over $3 million in winnings, according to The Times of Israel. Lehavot was one of nine players to make it to the final table of the tournament, where the grand prize is a whopping $8.3 million. Lehavot goes home with $3,737,823, or NIS 13,215,447.

There were a number of fans toting Israeli flags at the Rio Hotel, where the tournament was held and broadcast live on ESPN.

Lehavot had entered the final table second in total money. Lehavot’s departure leaves Ryan Reiss, who beat out Lehavot’s pocket 7s with a pocket pair of 10s, and Jay Farber to compete for first place.

Though he moved to the US from Israel at 16, Lehavot, who now hails from south Florida, still plays under the Israeli flag; he asked the competition organizers to play Hatikvah, Israel’s national anthem, should he win, according to SouthFlorida.com.

“I have some family and friends there and I visit regularly,” Lehavot told Cardplayer Lifestyle, speaking about Israel. “I very much love the country.”
