Level 30 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Alexey Mishuk
Alexey Mishuk

The action started when Sebastian Toro opened to 400,000 from middle position. Alexey Mishuk shoved all in for 2,750,000 from the cutoff. It folded back to Toro who tanked for awhile before eventually making the call.

Alexey Mishuk: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Sebastian Toro: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}

It was a fair fight between the two hands until the flop came {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} putting Toro well in the lead. The turn {9-Spades} was still no help to Mishuk.

"Give me a six", said Mishuk just before the dealer put out the {6-Spades} giving Mishuk what he wished for.

Jeremy Saderne: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Simonian Stuns Kim in Wild Fashion

Level 31 : 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

With just three hands remaining in Day 3, Wooseok Kim open-jammed from early position and John Simonian snap-called from the big blind with just 50,000 fewer than Kim.

John Simonian: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Wooseok Kim: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}

Kim received the dream {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{9-Spades} flop to have Simonian drawing to just two outs. Simonian was halfway out the door on the {5-Clubs} turn.

The river, however, was the {q-Hearts} sending the table and onlookers into a frenzy while Kim buried his head in his hands.

Though Kim was able to spin up with {6-}{4-} vs. {3-}{3-} in the following hand, he was not able to bag as his {10-}{3-} failed to hold vs. {7-}{6-} on the last hand of the night.
