Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Gytis Lazauninkas opened to 700 from the button and received a call by Audrius Laimelis in the big bling.

Lazauninkas continued for 1,000 on the 10♦3♠7♣. But after Laimelis check-called, both players only checked the J♦A♣ runout?

First player to reveal his cards, Laimelis showed that he had 10♣8♥ for a pair. Lazauninkas' cards went into the muck.

Leckey continued with a bet of 1,000 on the A♥7♣J♥ flop. Iermolcheva called.

The two players checked the J♠ turn, and K♦ river. Leckey showed ten-high with 10x4x, but Iermolcheva took down the pot with Q♥2♣ for queen-high.

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Bobby James raised to 700 from the hijack before Thomas Murphy three-bet to 3,100 from the small blind. James called.

Murphy continued with a bet of 3,500 on the 9♥J♠6♠ flop. James slid in the call.

Murphy didn't slow down upon seeing the 3♥ come on the turn as he put out a bet of 9,500. James once again made the call.

The 2♣ dropped on the river and Murphy unloaded the clip, shoving for 27,000. James thought it over for quite some time before eventually flicking in the call.

Murphy flipped over 8♥7♥ for eight-high. James had that beat with top pair holding J♥10♥, and Murphy was the first elimination of the day.
