"robinsex" First to be Eliminated, "ShipitFTW911" Crosses Eight-Figure Mark

"ShipitFTW911" raised to 168,000 from the button and faced a three-bet to 560,000 from small blind"robinsex". "ShipitFTW911" paid the extra chips and the two saw a flop of 7♣2♠2♣. "robinsex" put out a bet of 422,440 and "ShipitFTW911" raised to 928,000.

"robinsex" then three-bet all in for 2,764,960 and "ShipitFTW911" quickly called.

"robinsex": Q♠Q♥
"ShipitFTW911": A♣10♣

"ShipitFTW911"s flush draw would miss, but the K♦A♦ runout rivered him a pair of aces instead, beating the pair of queens from "robinsex", who consequently would fall in 38th place as the first elimination of the day.

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Andras "probirs" Nemeth started with a raise to 175,200 from the hijack before Aliaksei "ale6ka" Boika three-bet shipped his 1,393,584 stack in from the small blind. Big blind "krokdil.by" then rejammed for just a little more and Nemeth got out of the way, showing the A♣ as he folded.

Aliaksei "ale6ka" Boika: K♥Q♥
"krokodil.by": A♥J♥

Both players made two pair on the 4♠4♦10♣10♠6♠ board, but "krokodil.by"s ace kicker would give him the best hand. He doubled up while Boika was forced to exit the tournament.

Almost simultaneously, Gavin "gavz101" Cochrane busted on another table to leave the field with 35 players.

Level 28 : Blinds 45,000/90,000, 11,250 ante

Thorsten "juicetus" Legit was the absolute short stack of the field and he got his last 616,668 chips in the middle from the cutoff. The action then folded to "I Can Dewey It" in the big blind, who made the call.

Thorsten "juicetus" Legit: A♠A♥
"I Can Dewey It": A♣5♣

Legit had a tremendous lead with his pocket aces, and the K♥8♠4♠ flop saw his opponent with only a three percent chance to win the pot.

The 5♠ brought a little sweat as "I Can Dewey It" paired up, and the detrimental 5♦ river saw them make trips and crack the rockets of Legit. He took a sour exit in 35th place while his opponent received a nice chip-up.

Level 28 : Blinds 45,000/90,000, 11,250 ante

The first minutes of Day 3 have provided plenty of action thus far, and in the latest example, it was Darrell "FourSixFour" Goh who started it off with a raise to 180,000 from middle position.

The action then folded to "SerVlaMin" in the small blind, and they jammed all in for 2,149,544 chips. When the action got back to Goh, he made the call.

"SerVlaMin": A♣J♠
Darrell "FourSixFour" Goh: A♠K♥

Goh immediately paired his king on the K♣7♦6♦ flop, and "ServlaMin" failed to pull off a miracle on the 5♥ turn, leaving him with no chance to win the pot. The K♦ river upgraded Goh to trips and "SerVlaMin" took their exit.

On another table, "ContraSpemSper0" was eliminated in 33rd place, meaning that the final 32 players have taken their seats on the last four tables of the tournament.

Darrell "FourSixFour" Goh	5,573,808 4,302,844	4,302,844

Level 28 : Blinds 45,000/90,000, 11,250 ante

With 32 players remaining, Andy "BowieEffect" Wilson shipped his 498,140 stack in from the big blind and received a call from "Stumpfed" in the big blind.

Andy "BowieEffect" Wilson: K♥6♦
"Stumpfed": A♣5♠

The hand was virtually over when "Stumpfed" flopped trips on J♣5♣5♦, and the full house upgrade on the A♥ turn sealed the deal. The Q♥ river completed the board and Wilson was the last to leave without making the pay jump to $40,350.

One hand later, it would be "Stumpfed" themself who was at risk of elimination when Kelvin "Kelvin_FP:AR" Kerber raised to 180,000 from the button and "Stumpfed"s stack of 2,341,213 went in from the small blind, with Kerber making the call.

"Stumpfed": A♥Q♥
Kelvin "Kelvin_FP:AR" Kerber: 5♠5♥

"Stumpfed" had many outs to hit on the 9♥K♠9♠6♥ board, but none came on the 2♦ river, leaving him to be eliminated after just eliminating a player himself.

Kelvin "Kelvin_FP:AR" Kerber	5,876,897 2,442,463	2,442,463

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 12,500 ante

Chris "ImDaNuts" Oliver raised to 180,000 from the hijack in the last hand of the previous level and Dominykas "Mikensonas" Mikolaitis reraised to 531,000 from the button. Juan "xPastorcitox" Pastor then went all in, covering both other players, and Oliver would be the only caller, putting his 3,096,042 stack at risk.

Chris "ImDaNuts" Oliver: A♣K♠
Juan "xPastorcitox" Pastor: J♠J♦

Oliver failed to hit one of his hole cards on 4♠10♥10♦Q♥3♥ and left the tournament. On another table, "BigCsabi" busted in 26th place, leaving the field one elimination away from the final three tables.

Nemeth Can Not Escape the Five, Final Three Tables Reached

Moments after losing a pot with ace-jack to Leonard "Grozzorg" Maue's ace-five, Andras "probirs" Nemeth raised to 219,000 from the button. His adversary Maue then three-bet jammed from the big blind and Nemeth made the call for 1,879,812 chips.

Andras "probirs" Nemeth: A♣J♦
Leonard "Grozzorg" Maue: A♦5♥

The flop was dreadful for Nemeth, Maue once again hit a five against his ace-jack on 5♦4♠8♥. No help arrived on the 2♣10♠ runout and the Hungarian was eliminated in 25th place, leaving the field with three tables of eight players.

Player	Chips	Progress
Leonard "Grozzorg" Maue	22,338,442 2,679,812	2,679,812

Jonathan "Proudflop" Proudfoot Eliminated in 24th Place ($40,350)

Ivan "ILS007" Stokes made a raise to 280,000 from middle position before Darrell "FourSixFour" Goh three-bet to 840,000 from the cutoff. Jonathan "Proudflop" Proudfoot then four-bet shipped his 2,143,236 stack in the middle from the small blind and the action folded back to Goh, who made the call to put Proudfoot at risk.

Jonathan "Proudflop" Proudfoot: A♠K♠
Darrell "FourSixFour" Goh: K♥K♦

No ace showed its face on J♦J♥J♣5♦9♠ and Proudfoot lost his chips to Goh and bubbled a pay jump as he exited in 24th place.

Dominykas "Mikensonas" Mikolaitis Eliminated in 23rd Place ($49,894)

Dominykas "Mikensonas" Mikolaitis had become short-stacked when he went all in for 739,214 from the hijack. "PAX176" was in the cutoff and was the only caller, with the covering stack.

Dominykas "Mikensonas" Mikolaitis: Q♥10♥
"PAX176": J♥J♦

Mikolaitis would flop amazingly with trips on 8♥10♣10♦, but the 9♦7♦ runout saw "PAX176" make a straight to eliminate Mikolaitis in 23rd place.

Leo "LeoAlcantara" Alcantara: K♣10♦
Jamil "Jamil11" Wakil: Q♠Q♦

Wakil flopped a set on A♣Q♥6♠ and filled up on the 6♣ turn, leaving Alcantara drawing dead. Alcantara hit a meaningless Broadway on the J♥ river as salt in the wound and said his goodbyes in 22nd place.
