Kayhan Mokri opened to 13,000 in middle position and Wouter Beltz defended out of the big blind.
Beltz checked on the flop of 8♠4♥A♣ and Mokri continued for 11,000. Beltz called. Beltz then led out with a bet on the 4♦ turn to fold out the rising poker star and €100,000 EPT Super High Roller winner.
Robert Kaggerud opened from the hijack to 12,000 and was called by Gary Miller in the cutoff. From the small blind, Felipe Germano took a few seconds and shoved for 121,000 chips. In the big blind, Vlado Banicevic went into the tank and raised all in for 160,000 chips. Kaggerud and Miller quickly folded.
Felipe Germano: K♣J♣
Vlado Banicevic: 9♣9♠
Germano found a flush draw on the flop 2♣10♠4♣. However, it wasn't completed with the turn 3♠ nor the river A♥, and Germano was eliminated.
On the very next hand, Miller raised from the hijack to 12,000. In the cutoff, Julien Mariani, one of the shortest stack of the field, jammed for 45,000 chips. Miller eventually called.
Julien Mariani: K♥K♣
Gary Miller: 10♥8♥
A ten came on the flop 10♣A♠J♥ to give a pair to Miller. But Mariani's kings held on the turn 5♣ and the river 2♦, so he doubled up.
Viktor Jensen shoved his last 51,000 from under the gun before Ricardo Graells shoved from middle position with 58,000. The rest of the table got out of the way and action was heads up with Jensen at risk.
Viktor Jensen: A♣8♥
Ricardo Graells: 8♦8♠
The board ran out 2♣7♦10♦3♦6♥ and Graells held on with pocket eights to send Jensen to the rail.
Action folded around to the blinds, where Hubert Matuszewski called from the small blind and Paul Jurcuta checked his option from the big blind.
Matuszewski check-called a 6,000 bet from Jurcuta on the 10♥5♦J♠ flop, but check-folded facing a 23,000 barrel from Jurcuta on the 3♦ turn.
Jurcuta, who entered the Main Event by way of a PokerStars Power Path Gold Pass, has chipped up nicely on Day 3 and currently sits with around 515,000.
Stanislau Shylkou was all in for 131,000 and Diogo Ferreira looked him up from the small blind. The big blind got out of the way and action was heads up with Shylkou at risk.
Stanislau Shylkou: A♥Q♣
Diogo Ferreira: K♥K♣
The board ran out 9♥4♣A♣A♦6♠ and Shylkou picked up three aces to double through Ferreira.
Matheus De Sousa opened to 13,000 from early position and Changjae Lee called on the button before Mathias Duarte three-bet to 42,000 in the big blind. De Sousa folded and Lee four-bet jammed for around 90,000 as Duarte quickly called.
Changjae Lee: Q♥10♥
Mathias Duarte: A♣J♦
Lee couldn't improve as the board ran out 5♠3♦2♦6♥6♣ to mark his elimination.
Maria Ho was all in preflop and at risk for around 140,000 from middle position against Peter Csecsetka, who was on the button.
Maria Ho: 8♠8♣
Peter Csecsetka: Q♣Q♦
Ho would need some help to keep her deep run alive, but the Q♠K♥5♠5♣J♠ runout needlessly improved Csecsetka to a full house and Ho was eliminated.
