Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Linglin Zeng opened to 12,000 from under the gun and Chad Power defended his big blind.

The A♦8♠5♦ flop checked through to the 4♣ turn which saw Power quickly lead for 25,000 and Zeng called.

On the 10♠ river, Power tossed out a bet of 100,000 approximately one second after the final card touched the felt. Zeng would go into a small tank before she elected to fold, as Power showed 3♥2♥ for the turned wheel as he was unable to get paid on the river but still holds a monster stack.

From middle position, Sergio Aido fired out a near-potsized bet of 45,000 on a board of K♦9♣A♥8♣, and Michael Bernstein called from the cutoff.

Upon seeing the 6♦ fall on the river, Aido bet out for 40,000. Not too long after, Bernstein raised to 225,000. Aido deliberated for a short time before returning his cards to the dealer and surrendering the pot to Bernstein.

In a preflop confrontation, Doug Polk was all in for 243,000 from the cutoff and up against Luke Chung who covered him from the hijack.

Doug Polk: A♠A♦ All in
Luke Chung: K♠K♦

Polk was a massive favorite to double up with pocket aces but was left drawing to two outs after the 6♣K♣3♣ flop gave Chung a set of kings. Polk couldn't make a set of his own as the rest of the board ran out 7♦10♦ and was eliminated in brutal fashion while Chung was pushed another sizable pot.

Brant Jolly: K♦K♣ All in
Kyle Montgomery: A♥Q♠

The board ran out K♠10♦4♥4♣8♦ and the kings full was good for the WSOPC ring winner to take down the pot.

The penultimate level has come to an end on Day 3, which means the 1,621 remaining players are now going on their final 20-minute break of the day.

When they return at roughly 10:35 p.m., the blinds will be 3,000/6,000 with a big blind ante of 6,000. Here are some of the highlights from the previous two hours of poker:

Peter Schneider

A huge pot was brewing between three players, and Terrance Reid recalled the action until the turn.

Peter Schneider had opened to 12,000 from middle position and Alexandros Kolonias three-bet the small blind to 60,000. Gustavo Morales cold-called from the big blind, and Schneider also called.

On the K♠8♥J♠ flop, Kolonias continued for 60,000, which both Morales and Schneider called.

When the A♥ hit the turn, it checked to Schneider, who shoved for 215,000. Kolonias took around three minutes before he called, and Morales decided to fold.

Peter Schneider: 10♥9♥ All in
Alexandros Kolonias: K♦J♦

Schneider had a huge combo draw and needed to get there against the two pair of Kolonias. A huge of "Yessss," was heard from Schneider as he improved to a flush on the 4♥ river, earning him the huge pot.

Arsenii Karmatckii opened to 11,000 with A♣Q♥ and Joey Padron three-bet to 32,000 from the hijack. Mizrachi four-bet to 81,000 from the cutoff, Karmatcii folded and Padron five-bet to 232,000, leaving 198,000 behind. Mizrachi six-bet shoved with a covering stack and Padron snap-called.

Joey Padron: A♥A♦ All in
Michael Mizrachi: K♠K♥

Padron was on the right side of the ultimate cooler and after remaining ahead on the 9♠J♣6♣7♣6♠ runout he dragged in a colossal double up at Mizrachi's expense.

Wu Guangbiao moved all in from the small blind for 64,000 and Milan Patel in the big blind looked down at his cards.

"Sorry bro," he said as he put in the chips to call.

Wu Guangbiao: K♣Q♦ All in
Milan Patel: A♣A♠

No waiting for Patel as the flop of A♦7♠8♣ gave him top set and it held up on the 2♥3♣ runout to eliminate Guangbiao from the tournament.

Simon Burns just recalled a big pot that happened not so long ago, which resulted in the elimination of Matthew Wantman.

John Jankowski had raised to 11,000 preflop and got a call from Wantman, Derek Dufour, and the big blind. They went to a flop of 10♦9♦3x, where once the action got to Jankowski, he bet 60,000. Wantman then shoved, Dufour called, and Jankowski also called, creating a pot of around 500,000.

The players then took it to showdown on the A♦Q♦ runout, which put four to a flush out there.

Wantman flipped 9x9x for a set of nines, Dufour held 10x10x with a set of tens, and Jankowski took it down with AxAx with his set of aces!

Yuriy Boyko opened from middle position and found resistance quickly, as Jarod Ludemann three-bet to 33,000 from the hijack. Francisco Lopez upped the pressure with a four-bet to 80,000 in the cutoff. Unfazed, Boyko moved all in for 228,000.

Ludemann got out of the way, but Lopez took a moment to think it through.

“I know I’m ahead, but…” Boyko muttered as Lopez counted out his chips and eventually made the call.

Yuriy Boyko: K♣K♥All in
Francisco Lopez: A♣K♠

Lopez was dominated and couldn’t find the miracle ace as the board ran out 2♣5♦9♦10♦8♣, securing Boyko a crucial double-up with his pocket kings.
