Nick Maimone opened to 210,000 from the button, and he was called by Jason Corbett who defended from the big blind.
On a flop of 5♥7♣4♣, Corbett checked and Maimone bet 1,100,000, more than Corbett's stack. Corbett went into the tank and eventually made the call, being at risk for 835,000.
Jason Corbett: A♣4♥
Nick Maimone: A♥3♦
"Hold, hold" Corbett said a few times. And his pair held on the 9♦ turn and the 3♥ river so he doubled up.
Haiyang Yang opened from under the gun to 200,000 and Scott Stewart called from the big blind.
The action was checked to the river on the 3♥5♣7♠J♦2♦ board and Stewart led with a bet of 400,000. Yang then raised to 900,000, and Stewart went into the tank. After some table talk between the players, Stewart elected to fold and said he had a Jack.
Heads-up on a flop of 9♠6♣K♠, Christopher Collier under the gun bet 275,000, but Nick Maimone decided to move all-in for 1,385,000 from two seats over.
Collier went into the tank for a minute and eventually folded.
Evan Benton's bag is open and his stack is in play but he is nowhere to be seen. It has been 30 minutes since Day 3 began and there is no sign of the American player.
Stan Yuk Lee raised to 225,000 from the hijack and Andres Gonzalez defended his big blind.
The flop came 10♠7♣Q♥, Gonzalez check-called the 250,000 continuation-bet of Lee.
The turn was the A♦ and Gonzalez checked again. This time, Lee barreled a bet of 450,000 out for Gonzalez to come along to the river.
The A♣ completed the board. Gonzalez checked for the final time. Lee continued with a bet of 550,000 and Gonzalez snap-called. Lee tabled the K♠K♥ for the pair of kings but Gonzalez held the K♣J♠ for Broadway and the pot.
