Lodden Cracks a Milly

Jesus Cortes raised before the flop, and he found calls from both Johnny Lodden and John Duthie, the latter coming along from the blinds. He'd end up check-folding, though.

The flop came {5-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {K-Clubs}, and Cortes continued out with 37,000. Lodden raised to 82,000, and Cortes didn't waste much time calling. The {K-Spades} came on the turn, and Lodden bet another 125,000. Cortes surrendered this time, not willing to go any further with Lodden.

The Team PokerStars Pro from Norway has squeaked over the million-chip mark now.

It's Ladies' Night

Frida Broberg on Day 3
Frida Broberg on Day 3

Vanessa Selbst raised to 21,000 under the gun, and Frida Broberg defended her big blind to go heads up. Broberg check-folded to another 21,000 on the {4-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}.

That's not very interesting, but what is interesting is that with 49 players left, we still have three women going strong. And they're all seated at the same table.

One Lady Down

Under the gun, Linda Santaguida raised to 24,000, the minimum. Kevin MacPhee three-bet her to 71,000, and Santaguida made the call with less than 80,000 behind.

The flop came {10-Hearts} {6-Spades} {A-Hearts}, and MacPhee continued out with 38,000 to put her to the test. After a long soak, she called with {K-Spades} {J-Spades}, and MacPhee's {A-Spades} {K-Clubs} had her two cards from the door.

The turn {8-Spades} gave Santaguida flush outs to hope for, but the river was the wrong shade of black. The {6-Clubs} filled out the board, and Santaguida has been eliminated.

His opponent was Daniele Vesco and he asked the dealer to spread the pot while in the tank. Vesco thought for a solid three minutes while Kostadinovic grew anxious. Eventually, Vesco gave it up and Kostadinovic won the pot.

Bach's Parting Symphony

David Bach (Day 3)
David Bach (Day 3)

From under the gun, David Bach raised all in for 61,000. Team PokerStars Pro John Duthie reraised to 125,000 from middle position and then play folded to Chris McClung in the small blind. He reraised all in. The big blind folded and then Duthie also tossed his hand in. Duthie showed the {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} when he folded and said, "Don't put a seven up there."

McClung tabled the {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts} and Bach the {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {J-Spades}{7-Clubs}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} and McClung won the hand to eliminate Bach. Duthie would have hit a set of sevens had he stayed in.
