Three Down in A Hurry

Within a few minutes only, the field has been whittled down from 31 to 28 contenders.

First to go was Dutchman [Removed:575] who jammed A♦8♠ for crumbs and was called by Jorma "jobetzr" Nuutinen in the big blind with the Q♠9♥. On a board of Q♣10♠4♣6♠K♦, Nuutinen flopped a pair of queens.

Patrick "pads1161" Leonard had dropped below a million and was then involved in a three-way all-in which he kicked off with a raise to 53,500. Michael "merla888" Gathy called in the hijack and Ludovic "ludovi333" Geilich jammed the button for 533,749. Leonard jammed for 839,902 and Gathy called.

Ludovic "ludovi333" Geilich: A♦Q♣
Michael "merla888" Gathy: J♥J♣
Patrick "pads1161" Leonard: 10♠10♣

Leonard flopped a set on 10♠9♣6♣ but still came up third-best on the K♣ turn and 8♣ river runout as Geilich scored a miracle triple up.

Last but not least, Job "DeadNylan" Greben defended the big blind against Chris "Big Huni" Hunichen and check-called 37,125 on the K♠10♠2♠ flop. Greben check-called another 122,513 on the 6♥ turn and check-called all-in for 416,958 on the 8♦ river. The Dutchman tabled J♠10♣ but Hunichen had the nuts with A♠9♠.
