Laura Fryer

Level 41 : Blinds 1,200,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

Matt Glantz open-jammed from under the gun for his remaining 21,900,000 stack. Sergei Petrushevskii was in the hijack and took some time before asking for a recount of Glantz's chips, as he was sitting with 21,800,000. After around two minutes, Petrushevskii made the call.

Sergei Petrushevskii: A♦10♦ All in
Matt Glantz: K♣J♦

Petrushevskii was ahead pre-flop, and things stayed that way on the Q♠7♠9♠ flop.

The 10♠ turn brought in the straight for Glantz, and the A♣ river wasn't enough to save Petrushevskii.

Riley Dieckhoff raised to 5,000,000 from late position. Ramaswamy Pyloore pushed in a three-bet when it had folded to him in the big blind, after which Dieckhoff quickly put his stack of 39,900,000 in the middle.

Pyloore weighed his options for a bit, then called with a covering stack.

Riley Dieckhoff: J♥J♦ All in
Ramaswamy Pyloore: A♠Q♥

Pyloore had Dieckhoff drawing to a chop after the 5♦4♣3♦2♥ turn gave the former a straight. Pyloore's wheel held up on the 8♣ river, and he eliminated Dieckhoff in a massive flip.

Antonio Trocoli Filho raised to 7,500,000 under the gun. Ramaswamy Pyloore called in the adjacent seat before Ray Albarado called all in for 4,200,000 in the next seat over.

Bobby Poe then rejammed for 16,400,00, which quickly folded out Filho. Pyloore made sure the counts were correct, then called off.

Ray Albarado: A♥5♣ All in
Bobby Poe: A♣Q♣ All in
Ramaswamy Pyloore: J♦9♦

Poe flopped two pair on 7♠A♦Q♦. Albarado was drawing dead after the 4♥ turn, and Pyloore missed his flush draw on the 2♠ river. Poe more than doubled up, while Albarado was eliminated in 15th place.

Ramaswamy Pyloore: A♣8♥

Laura Fryer

Level 44 : Blinds 2,500,000/5,000,000, 5,000,000 ante

Bobby Poe was under the gun and moved all in for his remaining 16,000,000 stack. Agustin Mendez was next to act in the cutoff and rejammed for 17,800,000. Ramaswamy Pyloore was in the big blind and pondered before saying "why not" and moved a stack full of chips into the middle to make the call.

Bobby Poe: A♣Q♦ All in
Agustin Mendez: 8♦8♠ All in
Ramaswamy Pyloore: 3♦4♦

Mendez was initially ahead preflop but Poe picked up a pair of queens on the 6♥J♦Q♣ flop.

The 7♣ was turned, which gave Pyloore a gutshot straight draw. He was calling for a "five, five" before the dealer peeled the last card.

A 5♦ came on the river, and Pyloore stole yet another pot and secured a double elimination in the last hand of the day.

Pyloore goes into the unscheduled Day 4 tomorrow as the clear chip lead, returning with around a quarter of the total chips in play.
