Immediately after being doubled through by Gytis Lazauninkas, Nick Schulman shoved for 2,375,000 from the small blind facing an open from Isaac Haxton, who was in the cutoff. Haxton thought a bit and then stuck in a call to put Schulman at risk.
Nick Schulman: A♥K♠
Isaac Haxton: A♦3♦
Schulman got his chips in good, and the 6♠J♥5♥Q♠7♠ board kept his king-kicker best for the double-up.
Gytis Lazauninkas opened to 550,000 from the hijack and was called by Nick Schulman in the big blind.
Schulman check-called a 400,000 bet from Lazauninkas on the K♥2♥A♣ flop and then both players checked on the J♦ turn.
The 5♣ completed the board and Schulman shoved, which was enough to put Lazauninkas all in for his last 3,300,000.
Lazauninkas went deep into the tank, but eventually stuck in a call.
Schulman could only show 7♥5♥ for a rivered pair of fives and Lazauninkas tabled K♣Q♠ for a pair of kings to score a big double-up.
Xu Yang raised to 500,000 from the cutoff with A♠J♠ and was three-bet to 1,700,000 by Bernhard Binder in the small blind holding Q♣Q♦. Action folded back to Yang, who called.
The flop came 7♥9♠10♦ and Binder checked. Yang bet 1,000,000 and Binder responded by moving all in. Yang quickly let his hand go and Binder edged into the chip lead.
Level: 25
Blinds: 125,000/250,000
Ante: 250,000
Just one hand after Wesley Fei's elimination, action folded to Bernhard Binder, who moved all in from the small blind. Danilo Velasevic called all in for his last 1,450,000 from the big blind and hands were revealed.
Danilo Velasevic: K♠2♠
Bernhard Binder: A♠2♦
Velasevic found himself dominated, and the 4♦Q♠3♣10♣7♣ runout offered him no help to be eliminated in seventh place.
Wesley Fei shoved for his last 875,000 from the hijack and was called by Xu Yang in the small blind to be put at risk.
Wesley Fei: 4♣4♥
Xu Yang: K♣K♦
Fei was crushed by Yang's kings, and the 2♠J♥J♠A♠9♥ runout ended Fei's roller-coaster Day 3 in eighth place.
Wesley Fei raised to 400,000 from the cutoff and Xu Yang defended his big blind.
Both players checked on the Q♣9♥8♥ flop and 4♠ turn, but Yang fired a bet of 600,000 into the middle after the 5♥ brought three hearts on board.
Fei stuck in a massive raise to 2,900,000 and Yang didn't take long to move all in for just over six million. Fei announced a call and Yang tabled A♥3♥ for an ace-high flush.
Fei revealed K♥6♥ for a king-high flush and was forced to surrender the majority of his stack on a sick cooler.
Xu Yang raised to 400,000 first to act with 5♥5♠ and was flatted by Ryuta Nakai in the small blind holding 8♣8♠.
Nick Schulman then squeezed to 1,800,000 from the big blind after looking down at A♠K♣, which got folds from both Yang and Nakai to send Schulman the pot.
Bernhard Binder open-shoved from the small blind for his last 3,525,000 and Danilo Velasevic took a peek at his hole cards and called all in from the big blind with a covering stack.
Bernhard Binder: K♦4♦
Danilo Velasevic: 7♦7♠
Binder was in trouble, and things looked grim for him on the J♣A♦5♥ flop. The 2♥ gave him some hope with a wheel draw, however, and the 3♥ river filled it, awarding Binder the double-up and leaving Velasevic short.
