Navkiran Singh: K♠J♥10♦2♥
Michael Rocco: J♣10♥7♣6♥

Andreas Zampas raised to 140,000 from early position and was three-bet to 480,000 by Ben Lamb in the cutoff. Action folded back to Zampas, who quickly called all in for slightly less to put himself at risk.
Andreas Zampas: K♠K♦Q♣J♠
Ben Lamb: A♣K♥Q♥8♣
The A♠6♠Q♠ flop improved Zampas to the nuts flush and the 10♥ turn left him one card away from a double up. However, the A♦ river struck lightning for Lamb — improving his two pair to a full house to eliminate Zamaps from the tournament

Quan Zhou: J♥10♦8♣7♣

Stephen Chidwick raised the pot off a shorter stack and then got his chips into the middle against Michael Rocco.
Stephen Chidwick: K♦K♥5♠3♥
Michael Rocco: A♥A♦A♣4♠
The 9♦8♥7♠6♠5♥ board delivered a straight on the board but neither of the players could use that, which ensured that the pair of aces remained ahead of kings to knock out Chidwick.
"You take his chips and his soul, eh?" Dominykas Karmazinas said with a grin on the face.

Zhengpeng Liu just recently arrived for Day 3 and only had around 150,000 chips remaining after getting blinded out for more than an hour. Despite a quick double up, he quickly found himself at risk again. The action was limped around to Liu in the big blind who made it 240,000. Shrey Maheshwary announced "pot" which got the rest of the table to fold and Liu called off his stack of 380,000.
Zhengpeng Liu: A♥A♦Q♦10♣
Shrey Maheshwary: K♠K♥3♠3♦
The flop came 7♥6♣3♣ and Maheshwary spiked one of his two possible sets on the flop. The 9♥ on the turn and the 8♠ on the river changed nothing, sending Liu home shortly after he arrived.
