Louis-Samuel Pouliot was all in preflop for his last 195,000 and Max Lehmanski had him at risk. Pouliot's 
trailed Lehmanski's 
and did not improve on the 
board.
Pouliot hit the rail while Lehmanski is up to 1.8 million chips.
Before the break, Chris Oliver started things off with a raise to 23,000 from middle position and the action folded to Harry Kaczka who three-bet to 65,000 from the blinds. Oliver thought for a bit before four-betting to 112,000 and Kaczka responded with a five-bet to 255,000.
Then things got crazy.
Oliver six-bet shoved for effectively 1.2 million and Kaczka snapped it off making this the biggest hand of the tournament. The hands?
Oliver: 
Kaczka: 
"Just a two million-chip pot," Kaczka said irritably at the sight of Oliver's hand.
With mountains of chips in the middle and a crowd of spectators gathering, the dealer rapped the table, burned a card and delivered the flop.
The spectators exploded. Kaczka was now a heavy underdog to win the hand and looked disgusted. Neither the 
on the turn nor the 
could save Kaczka and he smacked his chips all over the table before storming out of the ballroom. Tournament officials tried to track Kaczka down to pay him for finishing 88th, but he was long gone.
Oliver couldn't hold back a devilish grin as he raked in his newfound chips and he is now sitting on a massive, 2.28 million-chip stack.

Just before the break, we saw the cameras swarm the table of Pieter de Korver and made our way over. Upon arrival we discovered a three-way, all-in pot between de Korver, Bryan Colin, and Dmitriy Stelmak. The board read 
with the following cards laid out in front of each player:
Colin: 
Stelmak: 
De Korver: 
As it broke down, Stelmak won the main pot to triple up to around 400,000 while Colin won the side pot, keeping him with a stack of about 650,000; meanwhile, de Korver was left with the short end of the stick, and no chips to boot. He has been eliminated from the 2011 PokerStars.net Caribbean Adventure.
We've got three levels behind us, and the players are off for a 15-minute break.

We recently witnessed a three-way, all-in pot involving James St. Hilaire, Eric Buchman, and Thomas Finneran. St. Hilaire had the other two players covered and the cards were turned up:
Finneran:
Buchman: 
St. Hilaire: 
Finneran was in the lead but had to dodge a lot of over cards, which he did on the 
flop. The 
on the turn gave Buchman and St. Hilaire a plethora of outs to make a straight, and it was the on the river that gave St. Hilaire the aforementioned hand. Buchman and Finneran were both eliminated on the hand while St. Hilaire stacked his newly won chips.
The very next hand, Steven Burkholder moved all in from the cutoff with 
and was called by the St. Hilaire, who was still stacking chips from the previous hand. The flop was no help to Burkholder while the 
on the turn provided some chop outs. Luckily for Burkholder, the river was the and it was indeed a chop.
Faraz Jaka opened to 22,000 from late position and Ted Lawson moved all in for 137,000 more from the small blind. Eugene Katchalov then re-shoved from the big blind and Jaka got out of the way. The hands were turned over and Lawson was dominated.
Lawson: 
Katchalov:
Lawson couldn't find a four on the 
board and was eliminated from the tournament. Meanwhile Katchalov is becoming dangerous; he now has 480,000 chips.
