: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Day 3 of the Pokerstars €1,100 ESPT/UKIPT Malaga Main Event has come to an end with only 15 players advancing to the final day from the 134 that started the day at Gran Madrid Casino Torrequebrada.
Guido Pieraccini is the overnight chip leader with 7,350,000 chips. The Italian went on a tear shortly after the three-table redraw, knocking out Enzo Enzo, Viesturs Baumanis, and Juanjo Garcia to take 25% of the chips in play and puts him in pole position to lift the Main Event trophy and the top prize of €185,000.
Pieraccini’s main rival is Artus Gimenez who also knocked a number of players out in the latter stages including Doroslav Rasiukevic, Antonio Alfalia, and Jun Beum Chun in quick succession.

PokerStars’ Spanish commentator Alex Romero still has a fighting chance with 1,030,000, but if luck does not go his way he will be able to jump in the booth for the rest of the tournament!

Level 27

The 15 remaining players are bagging up for the evening and will return to action tomorrow at midday local time.
Level 27
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Artus Gimenez bet 100,000 from middle positon and was raised by Doroslav Rasiukevic in the hijack to 250,000 that Giminez called.
The flop came 10♦6♠5♠ and Rasiukevic bet 220,000. Gimenez responded by shoving, putting Rasiukevic at risk for 1,900,000. The Lithuanian made a nervous gulp before putting his chips in the middle.
Doroslav Rasiukevic: K♥K♦
Artus Gimenez: 8♣7♠
Rasiukevic's cowboys were ahead, but the Spaniard had an open-ended straight draw. The A♥ was a brick on the turn, but the 4♣ on the river was a dagger to the heart for Rasiukevic as Giminenez made an eight-high straight.

Jun Beum Chun was at risk for 2,300,000 preflop against Artus Gimenez.
Jun Beum Chun: K♣K♥
Artus Gimenez: A♣A♥
It is the ultimate cooler for Chun running kings into aces. Gimenez went on to make a wheel after the 8♠5♦4♣2♣3♠ runout and Chun headed for the exit.

PokerNews arrived at the table when Olivier Arnault gathered his belongings and left the table. Arnault shoved with A♦J♦ and was called by Giulio Astarita's 5♥5♠, who promptly went on to make quad-fives to eliminate the Frenchman.

With the board showing 6♣3♠2♥Q♥, all the chips went into the middle on the turn with Antonio Alfaia at risk for 870,000. He was covered by Artus Gimenez.
Antonio Alfaia: K♠Q♦
Artus Gimenez: A♠Q♠
Both made a pair of queens on the turn but Gimenez had a better kicker, which knocked out Alfaia.
