Action was picked up with Brant Jolly all in for his last 127,000 from the big blind up against Kyle Montgomery who had him at risk from under the gun.
Brant Jolly: K♦K♣ 
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.
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♦
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.
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.
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.
The action was relayed by Donnie Peters for what happened to be a five-bet pot on his table.
[Removed:548] raised to 12,000 and Jamie O'Connor three-bet to 32,000. It then got to James Osullivan who four-bet to 80,000 in order to get rid of [Removed:549]. O'Connor five-bet to 175,000 and Osullivan called.
On the 9♠6♣5♣ for, O'Connor jammed for 320,000 and that sent his opponent into the tank. Both chatted back and forth, with Osullivan even asking if there was a penalty if he showed his cards.
[Removed:549] then told Osullivan he was gonna give him one more minute before calling the clock. Osullivan took things into the own hands and called the clock on himself. The floor arrived and when she was told that Osullivan had called the clock, he was given only ten seconds to act before the hand was dead.
O'Connor flipped his A♠A♥ over before collecting the pot while Osullivan mentioned he had folded the ace-high flush draw.
Wagner Wysotchanski made it 15,000 from early position with Alen Tenorio calling from the cutoff and David Cabrera Polop defending his big blind.
All three checked the 6♠9♥Q♥ flop to see the 8♣ came on the turn. Polop led out 34,000, which only Wysotchanski called.
When the 5♠ hit the river, Polop fired out 42,000 into the middle. Wysotchanski called and then mucked when Polop revealed two pair with 8♥6♥.
The action was picked up on the river with the board reading 9♦Q♣A♥7♣K♠ and around 100,000 in the pot. Masanori Izu checked as first to act, and Rodrigo Jim moved all in, covering Izu and putting his tournament life on the line.
As players inched closer to the money, the ICM pressure began to rise, and Izu clearly felt it. He let out a sigh and stood up from his seat, visibly conflicted. For nearly three minutes, he stood motionless, eyes fixed on the board. Then, in a surprising move, he turned over one card, the A♣, without saying anything, still holding his cards in the hand.
The dealer immediately called the floor. Since no one at the table reacted and no action had technically occurred, a second floor was called. During the confusion, Izu revealed his second card, the A♦, still holding both cards in his hand and saying nothing. Technically, his hand was not tabled, and it wasn’t considered official action.
A third floor supervisor arrived, and after another few minutes of silence, Jim called the clock. The floor gave Izu 30 seconds to act.
Instead of making a decision, Izu asked, “Can I take a picture?”. He pulled out his phone and recorded a video, filming his pocket aces, the board, himself, and his opponent. With a grin into the camera, Izu finally tossed his cards into the muck, giving up the hand, but not without leaving the table a story to remember.
After the hand, Izu received a two-round penalty.
Seun Oluwole called under the gun and Weston Wells raised to 18,000 in early position and Nicholas Bond called in middle position. Greg Raymer raised to 70,000 to see Oluwole fold and Wells raised to 150,000. Bond folded and Raymer moved all in for 440,000 which saw Wells call to put the 2004 Main Event champion at risk.
Greg Raymer: K♣K♦
Weston Wells: K♥K♠
What looked like a chop was flipped on its head as the flop ran out 10♠8♠6♠ to give Wells a freeroll and flush draw to boot. The turn 2♠ locked up the pot for Wells before the A♦ river and the 2004 WSOP Main Event champion was eliminated from the tournament.
"Fossilman" signed a fossil for Wells as he wished his table mates luck, departing the field fifty or so spots away from the money.
With roughly 100,000 in the pot on a board of 4♠10♥5♥2♥, Terrance Reid was all-in for his last 120,000 with Jiwoo Hyul being the player trying to bust him.
Terrance Reid: A♣A♦
Jiwoo Hyul: Q♥10♦
Reid was ahead right now with aces, but Hyul had a lot of cards he could hit on the river to send Reid home earlier than he would have liked. The dealer burned a card then slowly delivered the 4♦ on the river. Reid's aces held up, and he doubled up through Hyul.
Max Neugebauer may have just taken the chip lead late on Day 3!
In a pot that had around 90,000 in it on a 7♥9♥Q♥ flop, Bin Weng checked from under the gun and Neugebauer bet 25,000 from middle position. Weng called.
A 9♦ hit the turn and again Went went into check-call mode after Neugebauer fired out 90,000.
When the J♥ put four hearts on the board, Weng checked for a third time. Neugebauer didn't slow down, though, as he put out a bet of 200,000 on the river. Weng went into the tank for some time and counted out his stack to see he had around 650,000 behind. Eventually, he called.
Neugebauer then flipped A♥A♣ for the nut flush, and Weng launched his cards into the muck.
