Jamie Armstrong - Eliminated in 17th Place ($19,708)

Michael Blanovsky raised to 36,000 from UTG+1 and Jamie Armstrong called from early position. The flop fell {8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{K-Clubs} and Blanovsky check-called a bet of 45,000 by Armstrong.

The turn card came {4-Diamonds} and Blanovsky led out again, this time sliding 165,000 forward. Armstrong came along and the river fell {9-Clubs}. Blanovsky announced that he was all-in and Armstrong made the quick call, only to hear the fatal pronouncement of "trip threes" from Blanovsky as he showed his {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}.

Armstrong was visibly upset with Blanovsky's catch on the turn, shooting out of his chair as he headed to the cashier's cage with a 17th place finish. He earned $19,708 for his run to Day 3 of this event.

Francis Lynch Eliminated in 18th Place ($19,708)

After Matt Wilkins raised to 41,000 from the hijack, Francis Lynch responded by shoving all-in from the cutoff. Paul Nash, perhaps emboldened by the raucous chanting of his British countrymen in the nearby final table arena, decided to push all-in as well. Wilkins quickly got out of the way and left Nash and Lynch to settle their score.

Showdown:

Nash: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Lynch: {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}

It was a classic coin flip situation and Lynch would need help to overcome the pocket pair of Nash.

The flop was a dry one for Lynch, coming {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. With no clubs on board, he would be looking for aces or jacks from here on out.

Turn: {8-Diamonds}
River: {6-Hearts}

The board stayed low and Nash's pair of nines remained the best hand. Lynch was eliminated in 18th place and will take home $19,708 for his efforts.

David Rounick Rolls Over Michael Blanovsky

David Rounick raised to 45,000 and watched Michael Blanovsky reraise to 75,000. This move prompted Rounick to shove all-in with his {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts} and Blanovsky called him down with his {J-Spades}{J-Hearts} to put the short-stack at risk.

The pair over pair confrontation was a bit of a cooler for Blanovsky, and the final board of {K-Clubs}{A-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} offered no relief. Rounick doubled up to 450,000 with the win, while Blanovsky fell to 635,000.

Christopher Homan and Hoai Pham got all of the chips in the middle before the flop.

Showdown:

Pham: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Homan: {A-Clubs}{7-Hearts}

Pham was in great shape to double up with his made hand, but the flop came {A-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{K-Clubs} and the dagger came in the form of an ace. The turn card was the {7-Diamonds} and Pham was down to his last chance, needing a queen on the river to stay alive.

River: {3-Spades}

Pham's pocket pair had been cracked by Homan's naked ace and the former bracelet winner was eliminated in 19th place, taking home $15,950 for his work.

Jason Tang open-shoved from under-the-gun and was called by Arkadiy Tsinis. Tang flipped over {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and Tsinis showed down {J-Spades}{J-Clubs} for a a commanding lead.

With his stack dwindling and the button sitting in front of him, Aneris Adomkevicius open-shoved for his remaining chips. Matt Wilkins looked him up and the players revealed their holdings.

Flop: {5-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Turn: {10-Spades}
River: {3-Hearts}

Adomkevicius found none of the kings or eights in the deck and was eliminated in 22nd place. He will pocket $15,950 for his efforts the last three days.

We missed the preflop action, but with the board reading {3-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}, both Metin Kose and Randolph Lanosga tapped the table.

The turn card came {9-Diamonds} and Lanosga shoved his remaining chips forward for an all-in. Kose called him down and flipped over {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for a flush draw, while Lanosga revealed {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for a flopped top set. If he could dodge the diamonds in the deck, Lanosga would score the day's first elimination.

River: {2-Clubs}

The river card was a total brick and Metin Kose was eliminated in 23rd place, earning $15,950 for his run through this tournament.
