Sergio Aido entered Day 3 as the smallest stack, but a double up in the first orbit gave him some ammunition. Poker notables Sam Greenwood, Daniel Dvoress, Mikita Badziakouski, and Charlie Carrell cashed the event, but it was Aido who took home the first place prize of €1,589,190.

Daniel Rezaei walked out of the tournament room with a stunned smile on the face and asked "do you want to have something for your coverage?" and then proceeded to provide a snapshot of his last hand.
Short, Rezaei had been all in with 
against the 
of Marton Czuczor, who wanted to muck his cards on a 
flop. The incredible 
turn and 
river run out gave Czuczor quads and Rezaei a bad beat story to tell.

Hirokazu Kobayashi has gotten short-stacked of late and opened to 1,000 from early position. It folded round to Denys Shafikov on the button who upped it to 3,000. After Kobayashi called, the pair headed to the flop.
It came 
and Shafikov contined for a smaller sizing of 2,000 when checked to. Kobayashi called and the dealer put the 
on the turn. This time when Kobayashi checked, Shafikov made it 6,000, half of his opponent's remaining stack and Kobayashi didn't waste any time folding.
