Loren Klein raised to 215,000 from the hijack and Austin Roberts three-bet jammed for 1.9 million from the big blind. Klein thought long and hard before making the call.

Roberts: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Klein: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

Roberts held the better pocket pair and was rewarded with a double when the board ran out {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}.

Julio Uribe Eliminated in 6th Place ($11,640)

Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Julio Uribe
Julio Uribe

Julio Uribe moved all in for 1.1 million under the gun and Austin Roberts flatted from the cutoff. Dan O'Brien then moved all in from the big blind and Roberts, who had 3.4 million back, folded the {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}.

Uribe: {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}
O'Brien: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}

The {5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop gave Uribe a pair of deuces but he needed more help to stay alive. The {7-Diamonds} turn wasn't what he needed and neither was the {3-Clubs} river. Uribe missed and headed for the payout desk in sixth place.

Vito Distefano

Vito Distefano jammed for 990,000 from UTG, and Loren Klein three-bet jammed for 1.3 million in the small blind, chasing Dan O'Brien out in the big blind.

Distefano: {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Klein: {a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

Distefano couldn't pair up on a {2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} board, and the start of Day 3 chip leader hit the rail.

Tim Tucker Eliminated in 4th Place ($17,120)

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 60,000 ante
Tim Tucker
Tim Tucker

Tim Tucker raised to 410,000 from the small blind, and Loren Klein jammed for around 2 million effective in the big blind. Tucker snapped him off.

Tucker: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Klein: {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}

Tucker looked primed to jump right into the thick of things again with his jacks, but the {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}{q-Diamonds} flop had other ideas. Tucker was left with a single out after the {3-Diamonds} turn, and the {6-Hearts} river left Tucker heading off to get paid in fourth.

O'Brien Nails the Flop

Level 30 : 75,000/150,000, 75,000 ante

Dan O'Brien raised the button to 325,000 holding the {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} and Austin Roberts called from the small blind with unknown cards. Loren Klein came along from the big with the {7-Spades}{6-Clubs} and all three players saw a flop of {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{k-Spades}.

O'Brien opted to bet his full house after both his opponents checked by tossing out 300,000. That was too much for Roberts and Klein, who both folded.
