Elia Ahmadian has become the first player to make it into Day 3 after he just eliminated Grant Wang heads-up.
Wang raised to 40,000 on the button and Ahmadian three-bet to 135,000. Wang then four-bet shoved all in and Ahmadian snap-called.
Grant Wang: 4♠4♥
Elia Ahmadian: J♦J♥
No help arrived for Wang as the runout of A♣K♣3♥K♥9♥ meant he finished second on his table.

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is making a move that will change the online poker game in the US with the launch of WSOP Online, a new platform that will bring players from three states together.
Poker players in Nevada and New Jersey are already competing against each other on WSOP.com, while those in Michigan have a separate single-state site. But that is changing with the trio of states being merged together on one online poker site ahead of the 2024 WSOP. Pennsylvania's WSOP site will not be part of the shared liquidity deal.
On top of the merger news, the WSOP has announced 30 online bracelet events this summer on the new WSOP Online.

Sean Ragozzini: A♣J♣
The board ran out as 8♥J♠5♠9♦2♣ and Chen was eliminated. Julien Sitbon has his work cut out for him with the inferior stack.

Min Zhang opened to 30,000 from the hijack and Darius Samual three-bet to 95,000 on the button. After the blinds folded, Zhang called.
They saw a flop of 9♠5♠A♥ which saw Zhang check-call an 80,000-chip bet from Samual.
On the 8♥ turn, Zhang checked again only to face a shove from Samual which more than covered the stack of Zhang. After a quick thought, Zhang stood up from her chair and pushed her remaining 200,000 chips into the middle.
"Sit down, sit down" remarked Samual.
Min Zhang: A♦6♦
Darius Samual: K♠8♠
Zhang was ahead but didn't manage to fade the river as the 2♠ improved Samual to a flush and earned him the pot.

Martin Zamani was three-handed at his table but took a huge hit when he flopped a pair of queens against the K♥K♠ of Grant Want. This left Zamani with less than 100,000 in chips which he got in the middle next hand.
Martin Zamani: 10♠7♠
Elia Ahmadian: A♣7♦
Zamani was a long way from pulling ahead and the board was no help to him and he was sent on his way to the payouts' desk.
