Comisso looked set up to win the pot as the board ran out 3♣10♠4♣J♦, but the river Q♦ gave Peters the set of queens to send both of his opponents to the rail.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Oliver Entine opened to 10,000 in early position and Ibrahim Senoussi three-bet to 30,000 on the button. Entine four-bet to 70,000 and Senoussi by five-bet jamming to send Entine into the tank with his remaining stack of around 150,000.

Senoussi called the clock and Entine called as the seconds wound down.

Oliver Entine: Q♥Q♦ All in
Ibrahim Senoussi: A♥J♣

There would be no sweat as the flop landed 5♠5♦Q♣ to give Entine queens full and the 7♠ turn had Senoussi drawing dead before the 7♦ river confirmed a double for Entine.

Sava Krink

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Bilguun Odgerel opened the action with a raise to 8,000 from middle position, and Fernando Rodriguez made the call right behind. Marc Fiorentino, sitting in the hijack, turned up the heat with a three-bet to 32,000. Hye Park wasn’t backing down and responded with a four-bet to 80,000 from the button.

The action folded back to Fiorentino, who wasted no time moving all in. Park went into the tank, but after some thought, he decided to lay it down.

Fiorentino’s aggression didn’t stop there. Just a few hands later, he finished the job by eliminating Rodriguez, who had started Day 3 fourth in chips, firmly establishing himself as one of the dominant players at the table.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Kathy Liebert raised from under the gun and Damian Salas three-bet to 27,000. Matthew Belcher called from the small blind and Liebert then pushed all-in for 183,000 total. Salas asked for an exact count and folded while Belcher reluctantly called.

Kathy Liebert: A♦K♦ All in
Matthew Belcher: Q♦Q♣

The A♣10♣2♣ flop propelled Liebert into the lead but she needed to dodge clubs and queens. Nothing changed on the 4♥ turn and the 2♦ river kept Liebert in the mix.

Stewart Morrison

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Steven Flores manoeuvred his stack of 32,500 all in preflop versus Chad Layne, both players playing from late positions.

Steven Flores: A♠A♥ All in
Chad Layne: A♦K♣

Flores pleaded with the dealer not to deliver a bad beat.

It was a sweat, though, as the dealer fanned out a 10♥9♣J♠ flop.

The turn 6♠ and river 3♠ kept it safe for Flores, though, earning him a double up.

Sava Krink

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Kharlin Sued opened the action with a raise to 8,000 from early position, and William Fife responded with a three-bet to 21,000 from middle position. Action folded back to Sued, who quickly moved all in. Fife asked for a count, and after the dealer confirmed 67,000 total, he made the call.

Kharlin Sued: A♥K♦ All in
William Fife: A♦Q♣

Fife was dominated, but found a glimmer of hope on the paired 3♦3♠9♥ flop. That hope vanished with the K♥ on the turn, giving Sued top two pair. The 6♣ river sealed it, and Sued secured a much-needed double-up to stay in the game.

Kharlin Sued	144,000 84,000	84,000

Michael Nelson: A♦Q♦ All in
Will Kassouf: A♠K♠
