When they return, two more levels are scheduled to be played before Day 3 concludes.
Mitchell Jones made a raise to 335,000 in the hijack. Carlo Wolters called on the button, and a 5♠J♣7♥ flop fanned.
Jones continued for 415,000, which Wolters quickly called. Jones sized up to 735,000 on the 6♥ turn, this time seeing Wolters put him all-in for around 3,500,000.
Jones attempted some speech play with Wolters, but it had little effect. Eventually, the clock was called on Jones, but he mucked his cards before his time ran out.
Jones claimed to have folded king-jack and asked Wolters if it was a good fold. Eventually, Wolters responded affirmatively as he added more to his mountain of chips.
