Couer's Cooler

Three players saw a {6-Spades} {4-Hearts} {3-Clubs} flop. It's checked to Christopher Olson who bet 18,000 before Jeffrey Roth moved all in. The action didn't stop there though as the third player involved, Sylvain Coeur, raised again to 70,000, but this was not enough to isolate Roth as Olson made the call.

The turn {A-Diamonds} saw Coeur bet 100,000 before Olson moved all in. Coeur made the call with {5-Clubs} {7-Hearts} for the flopped nuts. Olson tabled {4-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} for a flopped set, but in the worst shape of all was Roth who had {J-Spades} {J-Clubs}.

The river came {Q-Spades} before the huge pot was pushed Coeur's way. He's up to 485,000 now whereas Olson is low with 50,000 and Roth is eliminated.

Heidi Northcott eliminated on day 3
Heidi Northcott eliminated on day 3
The flop was {J-Spades} {4-Clubs} {2-Spades} when Manuel Bevant bet 10,000 into Heidi Northcott. Northcott then shoved all in for over 80,000 total and Bevant made the call. Northcott didn't want to turn over her cards and said, "I've got nothing."

She had to show though and turned up {A-Clubs} {4-Hearts} to Bevant's {4-Diamonds} {4-Spades}.

The turn came the {9-Diamonds} and the river came the {K-Spades}. Northcott was eliminated from the Main Event and Bevant moves up to 290,000.

We Will Defend This House!

On a flop of {10-Clubs} {4-Spades} {4-Clubs}, Diogo Borges bet 11,000 and Jason House moved all in for 45,000 total. Borges insta-called and showed {A-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} for tens up. House showed {A-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} for air and needing help.

A {Q-Spades} on the turn gave House a gutshot straight draw and the river {K-Hearts} completed the straight to double House up to 107,000. Borges moved down to 158,500.

"It's a Conspiracy!"

Mike Matusow - Event #51
Mike Matusow - Event #51
Mike Matusow, who has yet to really get involved too much today, was recently overheard talking about his run of luck here on day 3.

"They raise my blind 25 times in a row...then I get a walk and have two aces," said Matusow before he paused to look around for any cameras. "It's a f*ck*n conspiracy!" joked "The Mouth."

Adams Adds More to His Family

So long to Liv Boeree
So long to Liv Boeree
Liv Boeree raised to 4,500 from middle position and Brandon Adams called from late position. The big blind also called.

The flop was {10-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {7-Spades} and the big blind checked. Boeree bet 12,000 and Adams called. The big blind folded, after contributing some money to the pot.

The turn was the {5-Spades} and Boeree moved all in and Adams made the call.

Boeree: {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs}
Adams: {10-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}

Boeree would need a river ace to stay alive, but didn't get it when the river card blanked off. She scurried out of here as Adams collected his chips and stacked up to 350,000.

Steamrolling the Table

Jeremiah Smith
Jeremiah Smith
Jeremiah Smith is laying waste to his table, with a little luck on his side to be sure. After seeing an {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} flop with Jarrett Peter, all the money went in with Smith's {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts} trailing Peter's {A-Spades} {Q-Spades}. But the turn brought the {J-Hearts} and the river the {7-Hearts} and Smith's runner-runner flush was good enough to eliminate Peter and push Smith's stack up to 475,000.

Not long after, Smith won another huge pot. He raised to 4,000 before the flop and the big blind called. The flop came {9-Spades} {8-Clubs} {7-Hearts} and the two players exchanged raises until the big blind was all in. He had two pair with {9-Hearts} {6-Hearts}--but Smith had middle set with {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds}. The {6-Clubs} on the turn gave the other player a chance at a chop as well but the {4-Clubs} fell on the river and Smith sent another player out of the Main Event. He also built his stack up to 575,000.

There Goes Dick Carson

Dick Carson moved all in for about 13,000 chips before the flop with {7-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} in the pocket. He got a call from Tiffany Michelle, holding {K-Hearts} {J-Spades}.

With Carson at risk of elimination, the board came {9-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {4-Spades} {K-Clubs}. That was good enough for Michelle, but it spells disaster for Carson who heads to the rail after losing that coin toss.

Tiffany Michelle, meanwhile, has chipped her way up to 145,000.
