The action continues here at the 2023 World Series of Poker Europe at King's Resort in Rozvodov with Day 3 of Event #3: €1,350 Mini Main Event .
The event consisted of four starting flights which attracted a field of 1,729 total entrants, creating a prize pool of €2,000,000. A total of 461 players advanced from their starting flights to Day 2, where the field was reduced further to the final 58 players. Among those 58 players, Moldova's Artiom Poddubnii emerged as the Day 2 chip leader, finishing the night with 10,740,000 chips, worth 107 big blinds. Poddubnii is currently the only player in the field with more than 10,000,000 in chips.
Poddubnii has a career-best tournament score of $20,000 which he will surpass should he place 14th or better in today's event. Poddubnii is most closely followed by Romania's Marius Gicovanu (7,290,000) and Georgia's Lazare Kalebashvili (6,945,000).

Javier Francort raised to 200,000 from under the gun and Giuseppe Mazza-Boussemart called on the button. Siarhei Chudapal jammed for just shy of 20 blinds out of the small blind. Francort went all-in over the top and Mazza-Boussemart folded.
Siarhei Chudapal: J♦J♥
Javier Francort: A♥Q♠
The board ran out A♣8♣6♦8♥7♣ and Francort leaped out of his chair for some boxing celebration before sitting back down and stacking the newly acquired chips.

Svajunas Seduikis moved all in from under the gun for approximately 1,300,000 and Alberto Cigliano moved all in with a covering stack from early position, folding out all other players to leave Seduikis at risk.
Svajunas Seduikis: A♠9♣
Alberto Cigliano: Q♠Q♣
The board ran out 3♦4♦6♦J♥9♥. Cigliano's pocket-queens remained the best hand throughout allowing him to take down a nice pot early on while Seduikis was sent to the rail.

Just before their table broke, Pascal Heinrichs jammed the A♦4♣ out of the small blind and Javier Francort called with the K♦7♦.
The J♦9♦6♦ flop gave Francort a flush and Heinrichs needed another diamond to survive. None came on the 5♠ turn and K♥ river, sending the chips over to Francort again.

Joining the action on the 9♠8♥7♣5♦8♣ river, Luigi Shehadeh bet 1,600,000 into a pot of around 1,300,000 while in the small blind. That sent Petr Targa into the tank and he eventually flicked in a single chip from the big blind for the call.
Shehadeh tabled the J♥10♥ for the jack-high straight and won a very healthy pot.
