Clement Giraudopourchot was first to act in early position and the Frenchman raised to 24,000. The action then passed around to Jason Wheeler on the button and he called as did Paul Finco in the big blind.
On the 
flop, Finco checked, Giraudopourchot bet 36,000 and only Finco called. Finco then checked on the 
turn only to see Giraudopourchot push out a tower of chips worth 50,000. This was too much for Finco to pay and he gave up on the hand.

Day 3 bustouts are coming at quite a brisk pace, as we have already lost over half of the day's starting field in the first three levels.
WSOP bracelet winner Sean Drake just eliminated Marvin Rettenmaier to take the chip lead for the time being and filled us in on some of the details.
Drake raised to 26,000 in middle position and Marvin Rettenmaier called from the big blind.
The flop fell 
and Rettenmaier checked to Drake who continued for 32,000. Rettenmaier check-raised to about 71,000, Drake reraised to 167,000 and Rettenmaier went into the tank for a while before he reraised all in for about 540,000. Drake called.
Drake: 
Rettenmaier: 
The 
turn and river were no help to Rettenmaier, locking up the sizable pot for Drake.
