Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Martin Guerrero limped in from early position and Vanessa Kade jammed a stack of around 200,000 from the big blind when the action got around. Guerrero called with a bigger stack.

Vanessa Kade: A♦Q♠
Martin Guerrero: A♥K♣

Kade was dominated and didn't get much help from the flop of 7♦5♠K♠, though the 6♠ gave her hope with a flush draw. Sadly for the 2021 Sunday Millions winner, the J♣ bricked off on the river to mark her elimination.

"Sneaky," Kade said about her opponent's preflop play.

For more on Kade, check out her interview on the PokerNews Podcast earlier this year.

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Lars Kamphues opened to 20,000 from under the gun and only Leo Worthington-Leese made the call in the cutoff.

The flop fanned out K♠10♣2♠ and both players checked their options to the 3♠ turn. Kamphues led out for 15,000 and Worthington-Leese quickly raised to 40,000, which Kamphues called.

On the 4♥ river Kamphues checked and Worthington-Leese moved all in, covering the 140,000 remaining for Kamphues, who went deep in thought. As the clock ticked down to one second, Kamphues mucked his hand and the pot was sent to Worthington-Leese whos stack continues to climb.

Artur Martirosian opened to 20,000 from the cutoff and called the 170,000 shove from Stefano Pizzuti, who was on the button.

Stefano Pizzuti: A♥10♠
Artur Martirosian: 8♦8♥

The A♣ was in the window but it was followed by the J♣8♠, which immediately sent Pizzuti out of his seat and onto his feet. The 6♦ turn confirmed his exit and the board completed with the 5♠.

Magnus Carlsen
Magnus Carlsen

Five-time World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen has proven he can hold his own against the poker pros during his deep run on Day 3, but that run has ended.

In a single-raised three-way pot on a flop of 7♣2♣9♥, Carlsen checked in the big blind and Mark Teltscher bet 30,000 in early position. Oleg Vasylchenko folded in late position before Carlsen check-jammed a stack of about 163,000. Teltscher called with a slightly bigger stack.

Magnus Carlsen: 4♠4♣
Mark Teltscher: 10♦10♣

Carlsen had the worse pair and couldn't improve as the board ran out Q♥8♠ to mark the chess prodigy's elimination. As he left, Teltscher thanked Carlsen for playing and told him it was good for "growing the game."

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The action was picked up in a heads-up pot with close to 80,000 in the middle on a flop showing K♣10♥4♦. Elias Fisz checked from the hijack to Jimmy Torres Velasquez on the button who tossed out a bet of 30,000, which Fisz called.

On the 8♥ turn Fisz checked a second time and Velasquez moved all in, covering the 140,000 remaining for Fisz, who went deep in the tank.

After using four time bank chips, Fisz reluctantly let his cards go and the pot was sent to Velasquez.
