On a flop of 8♦A♥10♦, Marian Virlanuta got the last of his stack into the middle and was put at risk by David Cabrera.
Marian Virlanuta: Q♦9♦ 
David Cabrera: A♠8♣
Virlanuta had a gutshot and a flush draw, but couldn't find any of his outs as the 4♥2♣ runout sent him to the payout desk.
Cards were on their backs and stacks were in the middle, in a three-way all in scenario. Short-stack Aleksandr Razinkov had got his last 16,000 in the middle, Santhosh Suvarna was all-in for 118,000 from the small blind, and Artsiom Lasouski had them both covered.
Aleksandr Razinkov: A♠8♠
Santhosh Suvarna: A♦A♥
Artsiom Lasouski: K♠J♣
Suvarna was in great shape with rockets, and although he had a bit of a sweat after Lasouski flopped top pair on K♥10♦7♦, the 3♣ turn and 4♥ river were bricks. Suvarna scooped the pot, while Razinkov departed.
Fahredin Mustafov opened the action with a raise to 10,000 from the hijack, and Kazuomi Furuse responded by moving all in on the button. Everyone else folded, leaving it to Mustafov, who made the call to go to showdown.
Kazuomi Furuse: A♦J♥
Fahredin Mustafov: 4♦4♥
Furuse needed some help from the board, and when a jack hit the flop, it gave him a glimmer of hope. But that hope was quickly crushed as a four appeared as well, leaving Furuse in a tough spot. The board eventually ran out 9♦J♣4♣8♥9♣, sealing Furuse’s fate and eliminating him from the tournament, while Mustafov stacked up even more chips.
Chakib Mhiri raised to 10,000 under the gun and was called by Salvatore Camarda in the hijack, Ivan Stankov on the button, and Adrien Quetelart in the small blind.
The flop came 9♠9♦5♣ and Mhiri continued for 5,000. Camarda called and Stankov raised to 25,000. Quetelart folded, while Mhiri called and Camarda also got out of the way.
The turn was the 9♣ and Mhiri led out for another 15,000. Stankov folded this time and Mhiri took the pot.
With around 30,000 chips already in the middle on a flop of 6♦4♣6♣, Hugues Mazerolle had checked from the big blind and Shankui Li fired a small bet of 8,000 from the cutoff. Mazerolle then raised to 26,000, and Li three-bet the flop to 73,000. Mazerolle called.
The 8♣ turn and 5♦ river were then checked through to showdown where Mazerolle showed 9♦4♦ for a pair of fours, but Li held the winner with A♦6♠ for flopped trips.
Ruslan Zainullin shoved from early position for his last 31,000 and Hugues Mazerolle called from the hijack.
Ruslan Zainullin: K♥J♥
Hugues Mazerolle: A♦10♦
Zainullin was behind and couldn't improve as the 9♠7♠10♣4♠9♣ runout sent him to the rail in the opening level of Day 3.
Guy Taylor was in the big blind with a raise to 38,000 in front of him before Antoine Hasbani moved all in for 183,000 on the button. Taylor called and barely had Hasbani covered.
Antoine Hasbani: A♣10♦
Guy Taylor: 9♣9♦
Hasbani was racing for his tournament life, but the 8♥6♠3♠6♣7♦ board gave him no help as Taylor took the pot to send Hasbani to the rail.
Action was picked up with stacks in the middle and cards on their backs in a three-way all-in scenario.
Yiannis Liperis was all-in for 69,000, Peter Tschernigg had also got his 143,000 stack in the middle, and he was followed by Aleksandr Razinkov, who had Tschernigg slightly covered with 159,000.
Yiannis Liperis: A♠K♦
Peter Tschernigg: K♠K♥
Aleksandr Razinkov: Q♦Q♣
In a crazy cooler, Tschernigg had his opponents dominated with pocket kings. The 10♦8♣3♣ flop was clear for the Austrian, but the 7♣ turn spelt danger with Razinkov picking up a club draw.
In dramatic fashion, the A♦ then rolled off on the river to send Liperis the triple-up. Tschernigg took the 65,000 side pot against Razinkov, who was left with crumbs.
Mikhail Shalamov opened from under the gun to 10,000 and Artur Martirosian three-bet from the hijack to 32,000. When the action got back to Shalamov, he four-bet to 65,000, and Martirosian called.
On the flop of 2♦Q♥9♦, Shalamov fumbled with his chips a little then fired out a bet of 35,000, which Martirosian called.
When the 5♥ landed on the turn, Shalamov shoved for 120,000. Martirosian thought for a while and used some extra time before he eventually called.
Mikhail Shalamov: A♠A♣
Artur Martirosian: A♥10♥
Martirosian had a flush draw, which was his only hope of winning the pot. Fortunately for Shalamov, no heart came on the river as the 9♠ completed the runout, which earned him a double-up.
Heads-up on a flop of 2♠5♣A♣, Christian Steindel bet 17,000 from the small blind and Danielle Noja called in the hijack.
The turn was the Q♣ and Steindel bet 45,000. Noja then moved all in for 121,000 and Steindel quickly called.
Steindel turned over Q♦Q♥ for a turned set. "Okay, nice call I guess," Noja said as he showed A♠7♠ and was already drawing dead by the 8♣ river as Steindel scored the early knockout.
