Krasimir Yankov raised to 120,000 from the cutoff and Michael Perrone called from the big blind.

"Eight-high" said Perrone.

Black Denies Request To Show

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Taylor Black raised to 125,000 at the cutoff, and action folded to Eddie Ochana in the big blind.

As has been the case of most of Day 3, Ochana elected to defend against Black.

The flop came 7♦8♥K♠, which drew a check from Ochana. Black continued with a 150,000 bet, which drew a call. The turn saw J♦ on the board, and Ochana once again checked. Black proceeded to bet 450,000 and Ochana continued with a check-call approach when he put out the chips.

The dealer then placed 3♥ on the river, which Ochana checked. Black reached into his stack and sized up a 1,200,000 bet.

Ochana appeared uncomfortable at the sizing and went into the tank, apologizing to his tablemates on the time.

“I have a big hand,” Ochana said. “Can I show my hand?”

The dealer informed Ochana that he couldn’t and doing so would incur a penalty.

Ochana then went back in the tank for a few more seconds before folding 8♣7♠ face up, showing he flopped two pair.

“Show one time,” Ochana said to Black. “Show the bluff.”

Ochana’s request fell on deaf ears, though, as Black pulled in the more than 1,000,000 pot.

Taylor Black	7,000,000 1,000,000	1,000,000
Eddie Ochana	3,275,000 725,000	725,000

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Martin Carnero opened his button to 120,000 before Kartik Ved in the small blind raised to 375,000. The big blind got out of the way before Carnero shoved all-in for approximately 1,560,000. Ved immediately called and cards were revealed.

Martin Carnero: J♥J♣ All in
Kartik Ved: A♥A♠

The board 2♠8♥6♦10♦Q♣ did not bring any help to Carneros' pair of jacks and he fell to Ved's aces, busting out of the tournament in 20th place.

Shant Marashlian raised from early position. Daniyal Gheba called in the hijack. Aaron Thomas three-bet to 375,000. Marashlian four-bet to 675,000 and Gheba folded but Thomas called.

The flop came K♥7♣6♦. Thomas moved all in which turned out to be the wrong time to do is at he was snap-called by Marashlian.

Aaron Thomas: A♥J♦ All in
Shant Maraslian: A♠A♦

The turn was the 3♠ and the river the J♠ to end the run for Thomas.

Nate Silver Eliminated in 18th Place ($26,007)

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Nate Silver opened from early position and Brent Hart called from the big blind.

A flop of J♥10♠5♠ was fanned and what ensued was a flop-raising battle that ended with the chips flying into the middle of the table.

Nate Silver: 5♣5♦ All in
Brent Hart: J♣10♦

A great spot for Silver to earn a chunk of chips but Hart got a little something called 'instant service' as a J♦ on the turn gave him a full house, which left Silver with just one out.

That miracle one-outer didn't arrive on the river as the 2♦ completed the board.

Michael Perrone got his short stack into the middle preflop and was put at risk by Kartik Ved.

Michael Perrone: A♥6♦ All in
Kartik Ved: A♠K♦

Perrone was looking for a six but never found it as the runout of 10♣8♠Q♣5♦J♠ kept Ved's ace-king in the lead.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Sami Bechahed opened from late position to 120,000 and action folded to Mark Tarich in the small blind who called. After some deliberation, Taylor Black also called from the big blind.

The flop fell 4♦6♣2♣ and Tarich checked. Black wagered 175,000 and both his opponents called.

All three players checked the turn 9♦.

On the river 10♣ Tarich checked and Black bet 500,000. Bechahed took his time with a call and Black showed K♦Q♣ for a bluff. Bechahed revealed 5♣5♦ for a low pair to scoop the pot.
