Greco Finally Busts

[user76023]

Michael Greco moved all-in from the button for 114,000. Josef Samanek thought for a second but folded.

Peter Eastgate, who Greco had told earlier that he wouldn't mind being busted by anyone but him, called.

Greco: {J-Hearts}

Eastgate:

"Six!" says Greco.

{7-Hearts}

"Five, five, five."

{A-Hearts}

"Five."

No luck and Greco is eliminated.

Montury Conquered

[user46392]

Jean Montury open-shoved for 270,000, and Vivek Rajkumar reshoved to isolate. On their backs.

Montury: {A-Clubs}

Rajkumar:

Board:

Montury is out, and Rajkumar moves up to 1.4 million.

Continuing In The Black-Smyth

[user76023]

Mitesh Anjaria is the latest player to fall. He was all-in on a {9-?}

board with {10-?}

but couldn't improve against Marty Smyth's {Q-?}

when the board failed to produce any more Tens or Nines.

Smyth has 1.1 million now.

Slooowwwwiiinggg Dooowwwwnnn

[user46392]

With just three bust-outs left to go before home time, play has slowed down considerably. Everyone wants to make Day 4 and the serious money, and, as Jeffrey Haas said, "There's a lot of chips in play."

Haik Busto

[user76023]

Eric Haik reraised against Josef Samanek preflop with the Czech player calling.

The flop was {Q-Hearts}

and Haik moved in. Samanek instantly called with {A-Clubs}

, Haik in a bit of trouble with {4-Diamonds}

. The turn gave him a wheel draw with the {A-Hearts}

but the river was the {9-Hearts}

and Haik was crippled. Soon after, he was out while Samanek now has 1.2 million.

Smyth & Lessen

[user46392]

Marty Smyth and Vivek Rajkumar made it to the river of the {K-Clubs}

board at which point Smyth checked. Rajkumar bet 200,000, and after a brief dwell Smyth very quickly moved a stack of blue 10,000 chips across the line by way of a call, as though he was afraid he might change his mind if he did it more slowly. But Rajkumar turned over {A-Clubs}

and Smyth couldn't beat it -- he mucked and is down to 640,000, to the horror of the Irish media members watching. Rajkumar meanwhile is up to 1.65 million.

Ladies Let Macphee Down

[user46392]

Ivo Donev raised, only for Kevin Macphee to reraise. Back to Donev, who must have been delighted to be afforded this shoving opportunity with {A-Diamonds}

, and Macphee called all in with {Q-Spades}

.

No change on the {4-Diamonds}

board, and Macphee is Mac-busted.

Just one more player to lose before bedtime.
