Cathal Shine raised to 450,000 from first position, Vicente Delgado reraised to 1,630,000 before Enze Del Piero in the big blind announced all-in for 3,110,000. Shine got out of the way, and Delgado made the call.
The board ran out in favor of Piero's , and Delgado mucked his and handed over the chips as instructed by the dealer.
As Piero raked in the pot, he asked the dealer to repeat the amount he was paid. Apparently, they could not quite come to an agreement on the total tally, and thus the pot was recreated by separating Piero's stack into antes, blinds, and raises.
The solution ended up being Delgado throwing over an additional 100,000 chip to Piero, and both players seemed content with the result.
The youngest-ever triple crown winner and British poker legend Jake Cody was the pre-flop aggressor as he made it 425,000 to play from the cut-off. Only Jerry Odeen called from the small blind and the two men went heads-up to a flop of .
Cody c-bet to 475,000 and again got a call from Odeen, before both men checked the turn. On the river, however, Odeen led for 950,000 and Cody was faced with a decision. He elected to call and Odeen only had . Cody's was good enough to take a decent pot away and he is now right up there in the upper part of the chipcounts with 139 players remaining.
Jeremy Pantin, who started the day with the lead, raised from late position and short stack Jack Ferguson shoved from the cutoff for 2,450,000. Pantin called and tabled , trailing the of Ferguson. After a board of , Ferguson doubled with the ace-high straight and Pantin dropped some chips, Moritz Dietrich in one seat over now holds the most chips on his table.
Asif Raja raised to 460,000 and Ivan Gabrieli three-bet to 1,060,000 in the cutoff, which Raja called. On the flop both players checked and the turn saw Raja lead for 760,000, Gabrieli called. After the river, Raja made it 815,000 to go and Gabrieli quickly tossed in a chip for the call.
Raja showed for a rivered pair of queens, and Gabrieli won the pot with .
After two levels, the field has been thinned by 101 players. We started Day 3 with 253 in their seats, but only 152 remain after a frantic first period of the day.
The players left in contention have gone for a break, with everyone who's busted seemingly having registered in either the £1 million guaranteed £2,500+200 side event or the single-day Super High Roller, which has an entry fee of £25,000.
We'll be back at the tables when the players are, in 20 minutes.
Poker Hall of Famer Mike Sexton might very well be the oldest player left in the field. At his age, it's important to stay active, and Sexton is doing just that by getting involved in plenty of hands.
First off Sexton was facing a bet of 1.1 million on the river of a board, but though he looked very curious and already had cut out the chips for the call, Sexton ended up surrendering the pot to Louis Nyberg.
A few hands later he was at it again with Nyberg, and this time they had Tommaso Briotti involved in the hand with them. On a board, Briotti made a bet of 850,000 from the small blind, Sexton called out of the big blind and Nyberg got out of the way. Briotti checked the river, and Sexton wasted no time firing 1.1 million, putting Briotti deep into the tank. Eventually, time was called on him, and halfway through the one-minute countdown the Italian quickly mucked his cards.
