Leonard Yates opened to 100,000 and got one call before Jay Hong three-bet to 300,000. Yates then four-bet all in for 1,100,000. The caller folded and Hong called.

Leonard Yates: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Jay Hong: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}

The flop came {10-Spades}{2-Spades}{8-Spades} giving Yates a flush draw and a chance to stay alive. The turn was the {q-Clubs} and the river the {9-Hearts} and Hong clapped his hands together in celebration as he moved over three million in chips.

Michael Moore opened from the hijack and Cary Marshall defended his button.

The flop came {4-}{6-}{7-} with two hearts. Moore bet 50,000 and Marshall raised to 150,000. Moore called.

The turn was the {5-} and Moore moved all in Marshall took his time before calling.

Michael Moore: {5-Spades}{6-Spades}
Cary Marshall: {5-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Both players had turned two pair, with Marshall's being bigger. He also held a flush draw but his two pair held as the river bricked, moving up to two million in chips.

Humberto Brenes moved all in for his last 250,000 from the cutoff and John Volpe called in the small blind.

Volpe showed {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} and Brenes, admonishing himself in Spanish as he did so, turned over {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

There was no help for Brenes on the {4-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs}{8-Clubs} runout and he was eliminated, notching the 93rd WSOP cash of his career

Hong Leads Monster Super Seniors Day 3 Field

Jay Hong holds a commanding chip lead ahead of Day 3 of the WSOP Event #39: $1,000 Super Seniors, with over four times the average chips. Hong eliminated a player late last night to move up to 1,838,000 in chips and will be looking to continue his run when play resumes at 11 a.m. today.

Hong has WSOP cashes stretching back as far as 2010, with his best result coming in that year's Seniors Championship where he finished ninth for $36,450. Already guaranteed $2,469, Hong and everyone else still at the felt will be hoping to get closer to the $359,863 top prize in the Super Seniors this year.

Two-time WSOP bracelet winner Barry Shulman is second in chips, and has now cashed the Super Seniors for the third time after a 31st place finish in 2015 for $6,332 and a 166th place finish for $1,972 last year. Other players over a million in chips are James Plateroti, Clifford Pappas, Miles Harris and Steven Wenrich.

Today is scheduled to be the final day's play, but with blinds at only 8,000/16,000 with a big blind ante of 16,000 and still 120 players remaining, playing down to a winner seems a remote possibility. Stay tuned to PokerNews for more information as we bring you all the updates from the Super Seniors event.
