The action folded around to Justin Tsui in the small blind, and he completed before Chris Da-Silva raised to 3.5m. Tsui moved all in, and Da-Silva called.

Justin Tsui: {a-}{8-}
Chris Da-Silva: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Board: {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}

Da-Silva held with the higher kicker to the ace and Tsui was eliminated in 17th place.

There will now be a short break in play while the final two tables are drawn.

Gjoka Eliminates Watson to Extend His Lead at the Top

Level 29 : 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Nathan Watson
Nathan Watson

Nathan Watson was happy to get all his chips into the middle against current chip leader Artur Gjoka, and the former came off worse.

Watson's stack was being moved in Gjoka's direction when we got to the table and in front of him was pocket eights. But Gjoka held pocket nines, and the board didn't help Watson get out of trouble.

Watson departs with £6,250 as Gjoka takes another big step towards being the first player to hit 200m.

Lightbourne Hits Trips and Wins Big Against

Level 28 : 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Iaron Lightbourne

The board was down {q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and Daniel Rezaei, in the big blind, had check-called a 9.8m from Iaron Lightbourne who was on the button.

The river card was revealed to be the {7-Hearts} and after Rezaei checked Lightbourne moved all in for 26m. At this point, Rezaei went into the tank, and one by one uses his final three-time cards to gain an extra minute of thinking time each as he contemplated his decision.

"This could be a sick, sick call man," said Rezaei while thinking, but Lightbourne remained silent.

With just five seconds left before his hand was declared dead Rezaei called and Lightbourne tabled {k-Hearts}{q-Spades} for trip queens. Rezaei looked defeated and flipped over {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for two pair.

Lightbourne clawed in the mammoth pot and moved up to 85m.

Ace on the Turn Helps Dyson Double

Level 28 : 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Adam Daniel had raised from middle position, and Mark Dyson moved all in for 14.6m from the cutoff when the action got to him. The other players folded, and Daniel called.

Mark Dyson: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Adam Daniel: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}

Board: {q-Clubs}{5-Spades}{4-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

Dyson paired his ace on the turn to take the lead and hit two pair on the river. It was the second time this level that a player had come from behind and spiked an ace to survive in the Open.

Daniel was left with 66m, while Dyson collected the 30m pot.

Start-of-Day Chip Leader Haygarth Departs

Level 28 : 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Andrew Haygarth

Day 3 has not gone to plan for start-of-day chip leader Andrew Haygarth after he recently departed in 21st place.

We were informed that Haygarth held a flush, but it was no good against Artur Gjoka's full house after all the chips went into the middle on the river.

Haygarth came into Day 3 with 56m and stayed about that mark for the majority of proceedings today, peaking at 70m. But his momentum could not continue, and his name is now on the exits list, and he takes away £6,250.
