Big stack Ramaswamy Pyloore opened to 800,000 from early position. It folded to Stavros Petychakis in the big blind, who three-bet to 2,450,000. Pyloore called, and the 4♣Q♥9♣ flop was spread.
Petychakis continued for 1,300,000, which Pyloore called after confirming the amount. The 3♥ turn saw Petychakis size up to 1,750,000, but this time Pyloore quickly moved all in.
Petychakis had 3,400,000 chips behind. He quickly folded, preserving the eight big blinds he left himself.

Loc Tu moved all in from a middle position for around 900,000 and got a single call from Pierre Gue to his direct left.
Loc Tu: 10♦10♠
Pierre Gue: K♣6♠
Tu was looking to hold to stay alive and make the payjump and the 8♣J♣7♣9♥2♥ runout secured him a double.
In the next hand, Tu was all in again for 2,150,000 and Gue took around 2 minutes and decided to fold only after the clock was called, chipping up Tu again to 3,150,000. Leaving Gue with 4,150,000.
Some table talk was shared between players saying "that must have been a close one", "you had pocket tens?".
In the next hand, Gue moved all in for his remaining stack from the small blind and got a call from Morgan Ravail who only just had him covered in the big blind.
Pierre Gue: A♠10♣
Morgan Ravail: K♠Q♦
Both players missed on the 7♠9♥4♥5♥6♦ with very little sweat for either player. Gue took the pot with Ace high and left Ravail with only 300,000.
Ravail was in the small blind in the next hand and with an open just before him, Ravail decided to fold, leaving himself only 100,000 chips to play with.

Pedro Claus shoved from under the gun for 1,725,000 for Kheang Tang to make the call with the bigger stack from the hijack while the rest of the table folded.
Pedro Claus: K♦2♣
Kheang Tang: K♠K♣
The board ran out 8♥10♦Q♦10♥4♦ for Tang to hold with the pocket kings for two pair and an elimination to his name.
He got up from his chair to tell that he had won a hand just before when he held pocket queens and his opponent had ace-jack. The board ran out with an ace on the flop, a jack on the turn but a queen appeared on the river.
"There is a god, and it's a she."

Paul Trianosky open-jammed his remaining 2,400,000 chips in from late position. Andrew Dennis confirmed the number in the big blind before calling with the covering stack.
Paul Trianosky: K♣Q♦
Andrew Dennis: 5♦5♣
Trianosky flopped extra outs on J♦2♦10♥. The 6♥ turn did not help him, but the K♦ river gave him to pair to beat Dennis' pair of fives and double up.

Sebastian Park opened to 925,000 in the hijack. Siarhei Chudapal then three-bet to 2,800,000 in the cutoff, putting about half his stack in the middle.
Justin Fawcett sat waiting in the big blind and four-bet all in once the action reached him, covering both his opponents. Park called off his stack of 6,025,000, prompting Chudapal to fold what he claimed to be a pocket pair.
Sebastian Park: A♥K♣
Justin Fawcett: Q♠Q♥
Fawcett won the important flip when the 4♣9♠2♣3♥7♦ runout brought no aces or kings, eliminating Park early on Day 3.

Albert Garver raised to 1,000,000 from early position, and Cesar Flores three-bet to 2,000,000 from the hijack. Jeffrey Valenti four-bet jammed for 4,500,000 for the action to fold back to Garver who called for the 3,100,000 he had behind. Flores looked at them and made the call, having both opponents covered.
Albert Garver: 6♣6♦
Jeffrey Valenti: 8♥8♦
Cesar Flores: A♠A♥
The flop came 3♦5♠K♠ for Flores to stay ahead with his pocket aces.
The turn was the 6♥ for Garver to take the lead as he hit a set of sixes but the river completed the board with the 8♠ for Valenti to leap ahead and claim the pot with a set of eights.
The whole table gasped, and so did the rail. Flores took his phone out after paying up to document this for his own rail at home.
