Cedric Schwaederle raised the button to 60,000 and Tommy G shoved for 555,0000 from the small blind. After the big blind folded, Schwaederle put in the call.
Tommy G: A♥2♠ 
Cedric Schwaederle: A♦10♣
G looked poised to be the next elimination, but the A♠7♣7♥ flop provided him with chop outs. However, the 10♠ turn meant he was drawing dead, as the irrelevant Q♦ rolled off on the river.
Aren Bezhanyan raised to 60,000 from the button before Quan Zhou jammed for 230,000 from the big blind. Bezhanyan immediately called.
Quan Zhou: A♥8♣
Aren Bezhanyan: A♣Q♦
Zhou was in rough shape against Bezhanyan, as he held the inferior kicker. A clean runout of 10♥5♦3♥9♣3♦ came out for Bezhanyan, and all of Zhou's stack was absorbed into his.
Alper Kerim raised to 60,000 from the cutoff and then called Cristinel Dumitru's jam for 230,000 from the small blind.
Cristinel Dumitru: A♥6♥
Alper Kerim: K♥Q♥
Dumitru was ahead, but Kerim did have two live cards. The K♣9♦8♥ flop put Kerim in the lead with a pair of kings. The 2♠ turn and 4♠ river didn't help Dumitru, and he was the next to head to the cashier's desk.
Level: 22
Blinds: 15,000/30,000
Ante: 30,000
Grzegorz Kozieja jammed for 225,000 from under the gun and Nenad Dukic called from the hijack to try and send everyone into the money.
Grzegorz Kozieja: 8♦8♥
Nenad Dukic: A♣Q♦
Kozieja found himself in a flip with Snowmen against the ace-queen of Dukic. The flop fell A♦Q♥3♦ to propel Dukic into the lead with two pair. The 5♠ turn meant only an eight on the river would save Kozieja. However, it wasn't to be as the 3♠ dropped on the river and Kozieja was out on the bubble.
The remaining 41 players rejoiced at having made it into the money.
With the board showing 9♦2♣8♥4♦, Ohad Geiger bet 180,000 from under the gun and Natan Chauskin called on the button.
The 9♣ river checked through and Geiger revealed A♥5♣ for ace-high. Chauskin had that beat with JxJx for pocket jacks, and the pot was sent to him.
Guo Liang Wei jammed from the hijack for 140,000 with Nenad Dukic calling from the cutoff.
Guo Liang Wei: A♠10♦
Nenad Dukic: K♠K♣
Wei was the shortest stack in the tournament and was unfortunate to run into the Cowboys of Dukic. The board ran out 3♦3♥Q♦J♦K♦, which prompted Wei to celebrate as he had rivered a straight. However, Dukic was quick to point out that he had a boat, and Wei was the first exit on Day 3.
The tournament was now officially on the direct bubble, and the next player eliminated would leave with nothing.
Michael Iakovlev made it 50,000 from the hijack before Peng Chen three-bet the button to 150,000. OIman Ihlamur cold-called from the small blind, but Iakolev folded.
Ihlamur checked the 9♠2♥5♠ flop and Chen bet 125,000. Ihlamur called.
After Ihlamur checked the 8♠ turn, Chen fired out a second bet of 250,000 with just 200,000 behind. Ihlamur went into the tank for around three minutes before reluctantly folding and surrendering the pot to Chen.
With 43 players left and 41 making the money, the tournament begins hand-for-hand.
