Sami Matar three-bet jammed for 183,000 into a raise and a call. Obi Zhang called with the far larger stacks and the cards went on their backs.
Sami Matar: J♣9♦ 
Obi Zhang: 7♦7♥
The 10♣8♠8♦Q♣4♦ board gave Matar the winning straight.
Three players had their chips in the middle preflop and the largest stack Franco Da Matta also had the best hand in an attempt to knock out Gopal Gorsia as well as Praful Patwa.
Gopal Gorsia: K♣Q♣
Praful Patwa: A♦J♥
Franco Da Matta: A♣K♠
Neither player hit anything on the 8♥7♥7♣3♥4♣ runout and ace-king high was enough for the double knockout.
Panayiotis Giannakopoulos had left Dan Zvonaru on a severe short stack when his A♦Q♦ flopped the nuts on the K♦8♦6♦A♠4♥ board.
Benjamin Briot De Verez then jammed for 49,000 and Giannakopoulos flat-called while everyone else folded.
Benjamin Briot De Verez: A♠5♣
Panayiotis Giannakopoulos, Kc8c]
The board ran out K♦9♠6♦A♥J♣ and Briot De Verez survived.
Benjamin Briot De Verez checked the Q♠8♦6♠10♣7♠ river from the big blind with 52,000 behind and then faced the all-in of Dimitri Hadjipaschali on the button. He used two time banks and folded.
One hand later, Briot De Verez raised from the small blind and folded when Panayiotis Giannakopoulos moved all-in with the covering stack.
More than half-way through level 12, the field shows a total of 239 entries and that means the $200,000 guarantee has officially been surpassed with some 73 players still in contention. The largest stacks on the outer tables can be found below.
Xuecheng Mi had a decent portion of his short stack in against Zeus A and they checked down the J♦10♣8♦5♥Q♠ board. Mi tabled his K♥2♥ and Zeus A won the pot with the A♠3♠.
"No gamble," he had joked to another Chinese player before they checked it down.
He then jammed for 42,000 from under the gun and Manuel Cardoso called in the hijack.
Xuecheng Mi: A♥7♦
Manuel Cardoso: 6♠6♥
The flip went to Cardoso on the J♣5♣2♣5♦9♦ board.
Muaaz Gani limped the small blind and called a raise to 9,000 by Aidan Jacobs in the big blind. They checked the Q♦J♦4♠ flop to the 5♣ turn and Gani's bet of 13,000 won the pot.
He then opened to 6,000 on the button and Tusar Somaiya jammed for only 60,000.
"I gonna need some time," Gani said and then added "It gonna be ace nine" before he folded. Somaiya flashed his A♦10♦, so Gani's guess was almost spot on.
With the turn showing 9♠9♥2♥9♦, Jay Kamli had checked from an early position and Jaryd Jardien bet on the button with three T-5,000 chips out in front. Kamli check-raised small to only 27,0000 and Jardien called.
Kamli bet the J♠ river for 22,000 and picked up a call to reluctantly show his 10♦7♦ for a bluff which Jardien had beat with the A♠3♠.
Early into the fourth level of play on Day 2, the overall field shows a total of 234 entries with 73 players remaining as the last table in the side room broke. Below are some of the casualties and re-entries as of lately.
Ioannis Panagiopopoulos jammed the last 34,000 from under the gun and Marko Nortje in the small blind three-bet to 55,000. Todd Hellyar in the big blind flat-called and two active players headed to the A♠9♥7♣ flop. Nortje's bet of 18,000 isolated as Hellyar folded and Nortje announced "I have an ace".
Ioannis Panagiopopoulos: A♣J♥
Marko Nortje: A♥5♣
The kicker played on the 2♥ turn and 3♠ river and Panagiopopoulos tripled.
