Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Kyle Messner shoved his last 31,000 in from the cutoff and Charles Pinckernell looked down at his cards in the big blind.

"Well, ok then," said Pinckernell before he called.

"I think I have you dominated then," replied Messner.

Kyle Messner: A♥Q♥ All in
Charles Pinckernell: A♦K♦

In fact, it was Messner who was dominated and subsequently eliminated as the runout of 4♥9♣8♣5♣10♥ couldn't save him.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Action was joined on the turn with the board reading 2♠4♠K♣A♥. Hai Pham bet 23,000 from under the gun into a pot of about 66,000. Hossein Ensan was in the cutoff and raised it up to 59,000. Pham called.

The river was the 2♦. Both players checked.

Pham tabled the A♠K♦ which was good enough as Ensan mucked.

Player	Chips	Progress
Hai Pham	535,000 194,500	194,500
Hossein Ensan	253,000 100,000	100,000

Frank Visser

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Brett Hoy jammed all in for 26,500 from middle position before Gregory Kelley put his stack of 59,500 in on the button.

Marius Kudzmanas sat in the small blind and tanked for some time before calling with the covering stack.

Brett Hoy: K♣J♣ All in
Gregory Kelley: A♦K♦ All in
Marius Kudzmanas: A♥Q♠

While Daniel Negreanu, who was also sitting at the table, filmed the pot for his vlog, Kudzmanas managed to hit two pair on the 8♠5♥A♠Q♥J♠ runout to eliminate both of his opponents.

Gafford Doubles Through Zhivkovikj

Kai Cocklin

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

With around 50,000 chips in the pot, the board read 9♣3♥2♥4♠ where Bradley Gafford checked, and Boban Zhivkovikj bet 23,500. Gafford then shoved for 71,500, which sent Zhivkovikj into the tank for while. In the end, Zhivkovikj dropped in calling chips which put Gafford at risk.

Bradley Gafford: Q♦9♦ All in
Boban Zhivkovikj: K♥10♥

Either a flush draw or one of his overcards is what Zhivkovikj needed but the 7♠ was neither, which meant Gafford doubled up early on Day 3.

Player	Chips	Progress
Bradley Gafford	220,000 118,000	118,000

Boban Zhivkovikj	75,000 101,500	101,500

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The pot had about 62,000 in it on the river with it reading J♠4♣Q♣K♠3♥. Nacho Barbero reached into his stack and overbet the pot for 75,000.

Jordan Sparagana took his time before deciding to lay it down.

Barbero took the pot and a few moments later was out of his chair celebrating while watching Spain take the lead against France in the Euro semifinals on the big screen in Paris.

Nacho Barbero	421,000 45,500	45,500

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Hye Park opened the action with a raise to 5,000 from under the gun. Lyudmil Ivanov three-bet to 15,000 from middle position before Paul Tschernia moved all in for his last 22,000 from the button. Park mucked but Ivanov called.

Paul Tschernia: A♠K♥ All in
Lyudmil Ivanov: Q♣10♣

The board ran out 2♥J♠4♣5♦K♠ and Tschernia found new life in the early moments of Day 3.
