The river was a {6-Hearts} and the big blind bet much bigger with 100,000. Pupillo tanked around 90 seconds and stared his opponent down intently but gave it up.

Vekaria's Move Goes Wrong

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Joining the action on the {j-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades} turn, Pete Chen called the shove of Rishabh Vekaria for his last 71,000 with 50,000 in the middle by then.

Pete Chen: {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Rishabh Vekaria: {q-Hearts}{2-Hearts}

The {5-Diamonds} on the river was a blank and Chen doubled to remain in contention fewer than 40 eliminations away from the money.

Tay in the Tank

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Heavy action followed a {6-Hearts}{j-Spades}{k-Clubs} flop at Table 31. It looked like the player on the button bet small, around 5,000, and big blind Zachary Tay raised, only to have Ngoc Tai Hoang make it 61,000 in the cutoff. Tay stuck around and they went heads up to a {5-Hearts}. Tay checked and Hoang shoved for around 100,000.

Tay went deep into the tank, apologizing after around five or six minutes. Another player laughed and told him to take his time. He thought about another two minutes then folded what he claimed was sixes. Hoang claimed to have had that beat.

Zhang Doubles Through Swannack

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Bobby Zhang was all in for 47,000 with {a-Spades}{2-Spades} against the {4-Clubs}{5-Clubs} of Cole Swannack.

The flop {2-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{6-Clubs} had something for everyone, giving Zhang two pair and Swannack both straight and flush draws.

Kang Doubles Shak; Busts One After

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Dan Shak was flipping for his tournament life for the last 90,500 with {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} against the {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades} of Jinsoo Kang and the board came {7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} to give Shak a full house.

A few minutes later, Kang called the shove of a shorter stack while she was in the big blind and had the pair this time in {2-Clubs}{2-Spades} versus {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. The mighty ducks hit a full house on the {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{7-Hearts} board to send some chips back to Kang.

Three players saw a {5-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} flop and Simen Gulbrandsen and Maria Lampropulos got in a raising war, with the former betting 11,000, the latter making it 38,000 and the former shoving with a covering stack. Lampropulos called in short order with {k-Spades}{q-Spades} and was leading {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}. The {8-Diamonds} turn and {3-Spades} river kept it that way and she received 131,000.

Defending Champion Kenney Eliminated

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Bryn Kenney
Bryn Kenney

Bryn Kenney was all-in for the last 29,000 from under the gun and Nicolas Malo asked from one seat over, the rest of the table folded.

Bryn Kenney: {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Nicolas Malo: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}

Kenney needed a king, queen or broadway cards but found neither on a {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{4-Clubs}{8-Clubs} runout to hit the rail at the very end of the second level on Day 3. As a result, it also means that a new Aussie Millions Main Event champion will be crowned.
