James Gorham open jammed his remaining 474,000 chips and was snap called by Nikolai Mamut in the big blind, putting Gorham at risk.

James Gorham A♥8♠All in
Nikolai Mamut A♣J♠

Gorham needed help to stay alive in this heads-up event, and the flop that came 6♣9♦4♠ did not give him any additional outs. The K♣ on the turn meant that only an eight would keep him in the tournament. The 9♣ on the river secured Mamut the victory, and he will advance to play Maro Grujic in the Quarterfinals later today.

John Smith on the button called the 30,000 blind, before Weston Mizumoto raised to 90,000 in the big blind. Smith elected to call and see a flop.

The flop came 10♠3♠5♥, which Mizumoto decided to check. Smith then bet 75,000, before Mizumoto raised all-in for Smith's remaining 220,00 chips. Smith announced call and was at risk.

John Smith J♣10♦ All in
Weston Mizumoto 5♠4♠

It was John Smith's top pair ahead of Mizumoto's pair and flush draw. The 9♥ was a safe turn for Smith, and the 3♥ on the river secured the double up for Smith and allowed him to retake the chip lead.

The final heads-up match-up of Round 3 is between Weston Mizumoto and John Smith, with neither player looking to be the last player to leave empty-handed.

Following Smith's double-up, he's added a few more chips to his stack.

Smith took down two limped pots before Mizumoto got two jams through preflop.

Each player then gave their opponent a walk.

In another limped pot, Smith check-called for 30,000 from the big blind on the K♠J♦2♣ flop before the 7♣ turn and 9♦ river checked through to showdown.

Smith tabled K♦5♣ for top pair and Mizumoto mucked.

After paying off John Smith's flush, Weston Mizumoto was reduced to around 275,000.

The following hand, Mizumoto jammed from the big blind over Smith's raise to 80,000. After some brief thinking time, Smith called.

Weston Mizumoto: A♥6♥All in
John Smith: K♠3♠

A huge exhale escaped Mizumoto as Smith trips on the K♦K♣9♥ flop to become the huge favorite. The 9♠ turn gave Smith the checkmark ahead of the 4♦ river.

With that, Mizumoto effectively bubbled the Heads-Up Championship, with the final eight players locking up the $86,000 min-cash.
