Brandon Bloom

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Ioannis Konstas moved all in for 640,000 from under the gun and Takashi Ogura rejammed the small blind.

Ioannis Konstas: A♠J♦
Takashi Ogura: A♣K♦

The 9♠9♥7♥ flop brought chop possibilities and the dealer slowly burned and turned to the 6♥ turn which changed nothing. Konstas tried to summon some river help, but the 2♦ completed the board and the Greek player was eliminated.

On a 5♥3♠2♣ flop, Jose Zurita was all in for approximately 1,600,000 in the hijack and at risk against Adam Walton in the big blind.

Jose Zurita: K♠K♣
Adam Walton: 5♦2♦

Walton flopped two pair to lead the kings, and the Q♣ turn and 7♠ river left five-deuce with the best hand. Zurita made his exit, while Walton took the pot to move up to an eight-figure stack.

Kelvin Kerber: A♥9♦
Pedro Garagnani: A♣J♠

The A♦8♥3♣ flop kept Garagnani ahead and the 7♠ turn dashed any hopes of a chop. The J♥ river confirmed the result and Garagnani took the pot to knock out his fellow Brazilian.

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

On a 8♦6♦3♠8♠A♦ completed board, Milos Petakovic had 1,250,000 over the line in the big blind and was facing a jam by Vitor Dzivielevski in the small blind.

Petakovic tanked for several minutes and ultimately put in his remaining stack of about 1,050,000.

Dzivielevski tabled 8♥6♥ for a full house, and Petakovic's 9♦2♦ went into the muck as he made his exit.

Kaput for Kanit

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Mustapha Kanit jammed from the hijack for right around 800,000. Action then folded to Renji Mao who made the quick call from the big blind to set up a runout and put Kanit at risk.

Mustapha Kanit: A♣J♦
Renji Mao: 4♣4♥

The 4♠3♥6♣ flop spelled disaster for Kanit who would need running wheel cards to stave off elimination but when the 6♥ hit the turn, Kanit was drawing dead headed to the meaningless K♣ river.

Kanit stood to make his exit from the tournament area as Mao collected the last of his chips here one level into Day 3.

Omar Diez moved all in for roughly 725,000 in the hijack and Gregor Kampmann called in the big blind.

Omar Diez: A♣2♥
Gregor Kampmann: A♦J♦

The A♥10♥4♥ flop kept Kampmann in front to the 5♣ turn, and the 8♦ river confirmed the result.

"Yes!" exclaimed Kampmann as he secured the pot as Diez made his exit.

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Mikita Badziakouski raised to 200,000 from under the gun and Gregor Kampmann three-bet jammed for 940,000 on the button. Action folded back to Badziakouski who deliberated and called.

Gregor Kampmann: 9♠9♦
Mikita Badziakouski: A♠5♠

The J♣8♥3♦ flop kept the nines ahead, but the A♦ hit the felt on the turn to vault Badziakouski in front. Kampmann needed a two-outer to survive, but the 7♥ river bricked out and he was eliminated.

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

The player under the gun raised to 250,000 only to see Guillaume Nolet jam a short stack from the small blind. Matthew Wilkins woke up with a hand in the big blind and jammed for a bit more. The under-the-gun player folded to set up a runout with Nolet at risk.

Guillaume Nolet: A♥9♠
Matthew Wilkins: J♥J♣

The board ran out 2♣K♣J♠7♠3♦, leaving Nolet with just ace-high and sending him to the rail as Wilkins collected the pot.
