Jack Sinclair raised to 1,000,000 from the cutoff before Ahmad moved all in from the big blind for 14,400,000. Sinclair snap called.

Ahmad Rehaime: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Jack Sinclair: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

Rehaime looked destined for elimination as his ace-king had run into Sinclair's aces. The flop didn't give much hope as it came {10-Spades}{7-Spades}{7-Hearts}. The turn came the {q-Spades} which gave Rehaime four outs to the straight. To the jubilation of Rehaime the river came the {j-Diamonds} to stay alive in the tournament as he had hit runner runner to survive against all odds.

Rick Van Bruggen raised to 1,200,000 from under the gun before Mathias Siljander moved all in for 13,900,000. Van Bruggen quickly called covering Siljander.

Mathias Siljander: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Rick Van Bruggen: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

It was a classic race. The flop came {q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{3-Spades} putting Siljander in good stead, however the turn changed the tides as it came the {k-Diamonds}. Siljander was one card away from being eliminated and had two outs but they didn't come as the river was the {6-Hearts} to eliminate him in 10th place for €46,280 as the final table bubble boy.

The field quickly thinned at the start of the day, where 96 remained from the record breaking field of 6,313, as big names like PokerStars Ambassadors Rafael Moraes (82nd- €9,110) and Ramon Colillas (73rd - €9,110) as well as four-time WSOP bracelet winner Robert Mizrachi (37th €13,850) were eliminated.

British poker player Ivan Stokes (36th - €13,850) was also eliminated later in the day in a brutal bad beat at the hands of Mathias Siljander as the Finn rivered a full house with queens full of nines against Stokes’s three-of-a-kind. One-time WSOP bracelet winner Nikita Luther (€27,930) was the last woman standing and eliminated late in the day after a rollercoaster of a day where she was victim to Renat Bohdanov’s pocket kings.

Andrew Wilson ran cold to be eliminated at the end of the day (11th- €46,280) as he was chip leading at the final two table redraw. He lost a flip, then his ace-king lost to Ahmad Rehaime’s ace-five before ultimately losing another flip to Sinclair to be eliminated. Rehaime’s luck continued as he doubled through Sinclair as his ace-king hit runner-runner to survive against Sinclair’s aces.

Siljander was the final table bubble boy as his pocket jacks lost a flip to Rick van Bruggen’s ace-king which ended the day as the remaining players locked up at least €55,500 heading into Day 4.

Day 4 will commence on Sunday, August. 13 at noon local time on Level 37 with 56 minutes remaining at blinds of 300,000/600,000/600,000. The top prize of €600,000 and the trophy still await the eventual champion.

The PokerNews live reporting team will be back on-site tomorrow at Casino Barcelona to bring readers coverage of the final table for Day 4 of the ESPT Main Event. PokerStars will also stream live on Twitch and Youtube from 1:00 p.m. local time. PokerNews will be reporting on a 30-minute delay.
