Mateos vs Ponakovs

"Maxim737" jammed their stack in with the {k-Clubs}{j-Spades} in the cutoff and found a caller in "baneris" from the button, who tabled the {a-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. The board came {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades}{a-Clubs} and the trips aces secured the bounty for "baneris".

One hand later, Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos three-bet jammed his short stack in the small blind and was instantly called by button min-raiser Aleksejs "APonakov" Ponakovs.

Adrian "Amadi_017" Mateos: {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Aleksejs "APonakov" Ponakovs: {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}

The superior pair nailed a set on the {k-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} board to send Mateos to the rail.

Dutch poker streamer Tom "Tom_Poker_NL" Talboom leads the field into the final day with a stack of 3,346,984, followed by Hungarian SCOOP regular "Wildace_hun" (3,245,116) and Jakub "Olorionek" Michalak(3,239,693).
