In the hijack seat, Vanessa Selbst opened to 40,000, and she called a 122,000-chip three-bet from big blind Aaron Overton.
Off they went to the 
flop, and Overton continued out with 202,000 chips. Selbst's response? An all-in shove over the top. Overton got the message and decided to save his last 390,000 chips for a better spot.
Selbst is closing in on another million milestone now; we count her just over 2.9 million.
First in from the button, Steve O'Dwyer raised it up to 44,000. Tyler Kenney called in the small blind, but the action wasn't done yet. In the big, Philippe Plouffe squeezed his remaining 475,000 chips into the pot on a three-bet shove. Plouffe has been prone to shoving more so than the rest of the field today, a factor which O'Dwyer perhaps considered as he made the call for about 75% of his chips with 
. Kenney ducked out, and Plouffe showed up his 
, at risk and trailing.
The 
flop was an airball for Plouffe, and so was the 
turn. Looking for one of six outs but finding none, the river 
was close but no cigar for the at-risk player. Plouffe is thusly out in 11th place, and O'Dwyer will not go quietly. He was extremely short-stacked on Day 2, down to 20 big blinds again today, but he now finds himself sitting pretty in fourth place with 1.22 million.
From the hijack seat, David Stefanski raised to 44,000, and Tyler Kenney defended his big blind to go heads up to the flop.
It came suited 
, and it checked through to the 
turn. Kenney took the lead now, firing out 52,000 before Stefanski raised to 133,000. Kenney called, and the 
filled out the board on the river. Kenney decided to take the betting lead again, and he made it 180,000 to go. Stefanski could not call, mucking his way down to 1.31 million.
Kenney flashed the 
, and he is now hot on Stefanski's heels with 1.22 million. They've both still got a lot of work to do if they intend to track down the chip leader, though.
