Stephen Gerber bet 7,500 on a flop of 9♥2♦8♥ and was raised to 21,000 by Simon Britton. Gerber then pushed all in with the covering stack and Britton called off his final chips.
Simon Britton: K♥Q♥ 
Stephen Gerber: 8♠8♣
The 9♠ turn gave Gerber a full house to leave Britton drawing dead, and the latter took his leave as the 4♥ river added some salt to the wound.
Tyler Rueger opened the action under the gun with a raise to 6,000. Zephyr Peling, in the small blind, three-bet to 21,500, which Rueger called.
On the 3♣5♠10♦ flop, Peling led with a bet of 14,000, and Rueger called.
The 10♣ on the turn prompted Peling to go all in, covering his opponent. Rueger agonized over his tournament life at risk but ultimately made the call.
Tyler Rueger: 8♣8♦
Zephyr Peling: A♦K♣
Rueger was ahead, but his hopes were dashed when the dealer revealed the K♥ on the river, sending him to the rail.
Dave Mcleod opened the action with a raise to 6,000 from the button. Lee Swerdlin moved all in for 39,000 from the big blind and Mcleod made the call.
Lee Swerdlin: A♣K♦
Dave Mcleod: 8♣8♦
The board ran out 5♠3♣Q♠8♠K♣ and Mcleod's turned set awarded him the pot and an elimination.
Picking up the action partway through the hand, Sean Posner in early position and Naseem Salem from under the gun had gotten their two short stacks in the middle with Salem covering Posner.
Sean Posner: A♣Q♥
Naseem Salem: K♣K♦
Posner was not in great shape with his tournament life on the line. The 9♥5♥Q♣ flop did give the at risk player some hope but the 4♠ turn and 4♣ river kept the cowboys best to hand the pot and knockout to Salem.
The player under the gun had gone all in for just 6,500 chips and was looked up by Daniel Negreanu on the button.
Under the gun: A♦4♦
Daniel Negreanu: A♠J♣
Negreanu was rooting for a chop on the 6♣6♥K♦ board and was elated when his opponent paired up on the 4♠ turn.
The J♥ then came on the river. "Oh shit," said Negreanu as he raked in the pot and eliminated his opponent.
After the hand, Negreanu and the knocked-out player took a picture together, with the latter leaving in seemingly good spirits.
Joseph Erwin was standing up about to exit as the board displayed what had occurred to send him to the rail.
The board 2x8xQx6x5x. Nacho Barbero held A♣A♥ and Erwin had the K♦Q♦.
Barbero raked in the large pot as several camera crews recorded the hand for Argentine media.
An unfortunate situation occured for Japan's Yurina Omuro after she got her stack of around 75,000 in the middle with a premium hand, but ran into a better one.
Yurina Omuro: K♠K♣
Luke Blindert: A♠A♣
Even Omuro's suits were covered and the runout of 6♠9♣J♣9♦4♥ meant she was eliminated in the opening level of Day 3.
