Joonhee Yea opened to 1,200,000 from the hijack and Pascal Lefrancois jammed all in for 3,350,000 in the big blind. Yea asked for a count and then called to put Lefrancois at risk.
Pascal Lefrancois: A♠9♥
Joonhee Yea: A♥3♥
Lefrancois was in a dominating position to double up but the flop of 8♥5♣3♣ gave Yea the only pair. The Q♦ on the turn and the A♣ on the river gave Yea two pair and Lefrancois was eliminated.
Yang Wang opened 1,300,000 in the cutoff and Chris Klodnicki called on the button before Pablo Melogno came along from the big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of 9♦6♣3♠, and Melogno check-called a bet of 2,200,000 from Wang while Klodnicki folded.
The 5♦ turn was checked through to see the 2♠ on the river and Melogno checked once more. Wang fired 5,200,000, putting Melogno in the tank. After using a time bank, he dropped some chips across the line to make the call.
Wang tabled 4♠4♥ for a straight and Melogno mucked his hand.
Matthias Eibinger moved all in from the button and Monika Zukowicz called for her last 3,350,000 in the small blind. Alisson Piekazewicz tanked for a minute in the big blind but eventually got out of the way, leaving Zukowicz heads-up against Eibinger.
Monika Zukowicz: Q♣J♣
Matthias Eibinger: A♥K♦
Eibinger hit top pair on the A♦Q♠J♠ flop, but Zukowicz made two pair to take the lead as she blew a kiss up toward the sky.
The 6♣ came on the turn and Zukowicz was a card away from a double up, but Eibinger spiked the K♣ on the river to make a better two pair and send Zukowicz to the rail.
Marcelo Aziz raised to 1,200,000 under the gun and Ana Marquez called in the big blind.
The flop came J♠7♦5♦ and Marquez moved all in for 4,175,000. Aziz snap-called to put her at risk.
Ana Marquez: Q♦3♦
Marcelo Aziz: K♠J♦
Marquez was looking to complete a flush draw against Aziz's top pair as the J♣ turn improved Aziz to trips. The 3♥ river was no help to Marquez and she was sent to the rail.
Sirzat Hissou raised to 1,200,000 under the gun and Troy Quenneville moved all in for 6,500,000 in the hijack. Hissou tanked for a minute before calling.
Troy Quenneville: K♣Q♥
Sirzat Hissou: A♥Q♦
Hissou found himself ahead and poised for a knockout as the flop came 10♥7♥5♣, but Quenneville hit the K♠ on the turn to make a pair and take the lead. The river was the 7♦ and Quenneville doubled up.
Chris Moneymaker raised to 1,200,000 in early position and Pablo Melogno three-bet to 3,300,000 on the button. Moneymaker called and they went heads-up to a flop of 10♠3♦2♥. Both players checked and the 4♥ rolled off on the turn.
Moneymaker checked again and Melogno announced a bet of 2,425,000. Moneymaker called and the 8♠ completed the board. Moneymaker checked one last time and Melogno reached back for a bet of 14,475,000. Moneymaker burned through one of his time banks but opted to lay his hand down.
"Ace-five is just too much in your range," Moneymaker said after the hand but got no response. "It was a good bet. Or a bad bet if you wanted to get called."
Chris Klodnicki opened under the gun and Yang Wang defended the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of Q♥J♥5♠, and Wang check-called a bet of 1,000,000.
When the 10♥ hit the turn, Wang checked once more and Klodnicki continued with aggression as he tossed 2,500,000 into the middle. Wang wasted little time pushing his cards face down toward the dealer.
Lou Garza raised to 1,200,000 in the cutoff and Yinan Zhou called on the button, as did big blind Sirzat Hissou.
All three players checked the 9♣7♠5♦ flop. Action then checked to Zhou on the 10♣ turn and he bet 3,500,000.
Hissou called, while Garza tanked for several minutes until eventually releasing his hand. The river was the Q♥ and Zhou bet another 8,000,000.
Hissou went into the tank this time, using up several time banks before folding J♦10♥ as Zhou took the pot with A♥J♥ for just ace-high.
Tom-Aksel Bedell opened to 1,200,000 in the cutoff and Alisson Piekazewicz just called from the small blind. Michael Addamo reraised to 4,800,000 from the big blind and Bedell called. Piekazewicz stuck in the last of his 3,825,000 chips and a small side pot ensued.
The flop came A♠10♠2♠ and Addamo led out with a bet of 1,500,000. Bedell raised to 8,500,000 and Addamo clicked it back to 15,000,000.
"Oh no," Bedell sighed as he threw his hands up in the air. "Well I'm not folding so I'm all-in." Bedell moved in for around 37,000,000 and Addamo snapped him off creating the largest pot of the tournament.
Alisson Piekazewicz: J♣9♣
Tom-Aksel Bedell: A♣A♦
Michael Addamo: K♠J♠
Addamo flopped the nut flush but Bedell was still drawing plenty live with a set of aces while Piekazewicz became a bystander. The turn brought the 8♦ and the river was the 4♥ as Bedell bricked out and Addamo collected the chips and the double knockout at the end of Day 3.
Yang Wang opened 1,200,000 under the gun and Joonhee Yea three-bet 3,300,000 on the button. Wang put in a four-bet to 7,500,000 and after a couple moments of thinking, Yea jammed for 17,450,000. Wang snap-called and both hands were tabled.
Joonhee Yea: A♠K♦
Yang Wang: K♠K♥
Yea mumbled something about magic before the dealer fanned the Q♣J♣10♥ flop, giving him Broadway. "See I told you magic."
Wang was unable to find a chop as the board completed with the 5♦ turn and the 5♠ river, taking nearly half of Wang's stack as Yea doubled.
