Martin Zamani opened to 350,000 first-to-act and was called by Dorian Dizy in middle position. Daniel Drommel then shoved for approximately 1,300,000 from the big blind and Zamani called. Dizy then announced he was all in for a bit under four million and Zamani snap-called for a three-way showdown.
Daniel Drommel: 8♠8♥
Dorian Dizy: A♣K♦
Martin Zamani: A♠A♥
Zamani was in great shape to bust both his opponents, but the K♥2♠3♦5♦4♣ runout improved both him and Dizy to a wheel and they split up Drommel's chips.

Simeon Naydenov was at risk for about 1,800,000 from the button against Guy Cicconi in the big blind.
Simeon Naydenov: 8♦8♣
Guy Cicconi: A♥K♦
It was a classic flip and the 7♠6♠3♠ flop looked promising for Naydenov. The 4♦ fell on the turn, and Cicconi called for a five to chop, but he received an even better card as the A♠ completed the board on the river.

Yurii Zabrodotskyi was all in on the button for 4,325,000 against Dario Pieruzzini in the big blind and both hands were tabled.
Yurii Zabrodotskyi: J♣8♣
Dario Pieruzzini: 9♠9♦
The A♠K♣9♣ flop gave Pieruzzini a set of nines, but Zabrodotskyi still had outs as he picked up a flush draw. The 2♦ turn and the 2♥ river improved Pieruzzini to a full house, sending Zabrodotskyi to the payout desk.

Santiago Nadal and Luis Rayon Perez were heads-up on a flop of 2♣5♣6♥ with a bloated pot already in the middle.
Perez checked to Nadal, who bet 375,000. Perez then check-raised to 1,100,000 and Nadal called.
Perez kept up the aggression with a 1,600,000 barrel on the 2♦ turn and Nadal again called.
The 8♦ completed the board and Perez announced he was all in for approximately four million. Nadal snap-called and Perez could only show K♦Q♠ for a stone bluff.
Nadal turned over 5♥5♠ for a full house and collected the massive pot.
"You know you can't win the tournament today," Parker Talbot commented. "It's impossible."

Shortly after he found a fortunate double, Erik Marasco found himself on the rail.
Gabriel Nedelcu opened to 400,000 from under the gun and Marasco jammed for his remaining 1,400,000 from the hijack. Nedelcu was displeased with the decision but he eventually landed on call.
Erik Marasco: A♥K♦
Gabriel Nedelcu: K♠Q♦
Marasco was in good shape to double and it stayed that way on the J♣7♠5♥ flop. The A♦ on the turn gave Nedelcu four outs instead of three. In dramatic fashion, the dealer peeled the 10♠ on the river to give Nedelcu Broadway as Marasco was eliminated.

Ismael Alvarez opened to 400,000 on the button and Martin Zamani shoved from the small blind for enough to put Alvarez all in for a bit over seven million. Action folded back to Alvarez, who went deep into the tank.
"Good fold, good fold," Zamani said.
Alvarez then called and a showdown was held.
Ismael Alvarez: 8♠8♦
Martin Zamani: A♥Q♦
Alvarez held slightly the best of it with his eights, but the K♥2♥J♦A♣Q♠ runout left Zamani best with aces-up to eliminate Alvarez late in Day 3.

Timothy Chung: A♠J♦
Claudio Di Giacomo: Q♥8♥
