Two Outers FTW
Artem Kachnyy opened near the button, and Chad Eveslage three-bet shoved for 68,000 more than the original raise. Kachnyy went into the tank for quite some time, but eventually made the call. Eveslage turned over 
, and Kachnyy rapped the table then turned over 
.
The 
flop was clean, but the 
spiked on the turn, giving Kachnyy a set of threes. The 
on the river was a brick, and Eveslage was sent packing. Kachnyy is now among out leaders with well over 700,000 chips.

Pagano Holds For the Knockout
Kevin Bromfield raised to 13,000 from the button, and Luca Pagano three-bet to 43,500 next door. When the decision came back around to Bromfield, he shoved his short stack in, and Pagano called the remainder to put him at risk.
Showdown
Bromfield: 
Pagano: 
Pagano was poised for the knockout with his dominating ten, and the 
board sent Bromfield on his way. Pagano's been very active today at the featured table, and his stack has been up and down like a yo-yo. It's up again now, and the sharply dressed Italian is back over 450,000.
