Nicholas Grippo raised to 45,000 in the cutoff and Arnaud Enselme three-bet to 125,000 on the button. The blinds folded and Grippo moved all in for 545,000 which Enselme quickly called.
Nicholas Grippo: A♦K♦
Arnaud Enselme: 10♠10♦
A coin flip went the way of Grippo on the K♣Q♣3♦ flop to give him a pair of kings. There was no help for Enselme on the 2♣, 3♥ runout, giving Grippo a healthy double up.
Tom Cannuli raised to 45,000 in the hijack and Vlad Darie flat-called on the button. They went heads-up to a flop of K♦9♣2♣ where Cannuli started with a check. Darie tossed in a bet of 35,000 and Cannuli check-raised to 145,000 which Darie called.
The turn was the Q♣ and Cannuli checked again. Darie spent nearly two minutes in the tank before throwing in a small bet of 90,000. Cannuli didn't waste much time before dumping his cards into the muck and Darie raked in the pot.
Aleksandr Shevlyakov raised to 40,000 from under the gun and Adrien Delmas shipped all in for 460,000 on the button. Shevlyakov asked for a count and then called as the bigger stack.
Adrien Delmas: A♦K♥
Aleksandr Shevlyakov: A♥Q♦
The board ran out 8♣7♣2♥K♠8♦ and Delmas held on for a double up.
On the next hand, Renan Bruschi tried his luck by shoving all in for 165,000 from the small blind. Shevlyakov called in the big blind and the cards were face up again.
Renan Bruschi: Q♠Q♥
Aleksandr Shevlyakov: 10♥9♥
A flop of J♦8♦6♦ gave Shevlyakov a straight draw but Bruschi had the blockers for that. The A♠, A♥ runout favored Bruschi who also found a double up.
The action folded around to James Mendoza and Ali Shahni in the blinds who got all of their chips in the middle preflop. It was Shahni who was at risk for 410,000 but needed some help.
Ali Shahni: A♥5♥
James Mendoza: A♠K♣
The flop came K♦8♦7♥ and Mendoza moved even further ahead with a pair of kings. However, the 4♥ and 10♥ runout gave Shahni a flush for a double up to end the night.
Ludovic Uzan opened to 40,000 from under the gun and was called by Brandon Sheils in the cutoff. Clement Meunier in the small blind raised all-in for 535,000, then Uzan jammed for 530,000, prompting Sheils to fold.
Ludovic Uzan: 9♣9♦
Clement Meunier: 8♥8♦
Uzan's nines held all the way through a board of Q♥5♠2♦J♥J♦ and he doubled up while Meunier was left with a single chip worth 5,000.
On the next hand, Sheils raised to 40,000, Meunier moved all-in from the button and Uzan defended from the big blind.
Sheils continued for 20,000 on the 2♦10♣4♦ flop but Uzan check-raised to 100,000. Sheils called, but folded to a 200,000 bet on the 3♣ turn.
Clement Meunier: 10♥6♠
Ludovic Uzan: J♦6♣
Uzan just had jack high while Meunier flopped a pair. The Q♣ completed the board and Meunier was back to 40,000, almost the starting stack.
One last hand was dealt and Meunier shoved from the cutoff. Patrik Jaros on the button raised to 60,000 and made everybody fold.
Clement Meunier: K♥Q♠
Patrik Jaros: Q♦7♠
Meunier was on his way to double up for the second time, but a seven on 9♥A♥10♠7♥8♣ dashed his hopes of Day 3 and he was eliminated.
