Action was joined with the pot at well over 1,000,000, and the board reading 6♦5♦5♠8♦3♠. Chao Lu was deep in the tank before he announced that he was all-in.
Chino Rheem double checked his cards and then the board before he made the call and tabled A♦2♦ for the nut flush. Lu mucked his cards, and the massive pot was shipped to Rheem.

Blinds: 50,000/100,000
Ante: 100,000
Two players were holding cards as action arrived to the turn, with the board reading 10♥2♣K♠Q♥. Dieter Dechant was checked to, before he bet out for 500,000 into an already bloated pot of 800,000. His opponent, Thomas Di Francesco, decided to check-shove for his remaining 815,000. Dechant pondered his decision for a while, and eventually found the call.
Thomas Di Francesco: 10♣10♠ 
Dieter Dechant: A♣K♣
Dechant called for a "jack one time," but the 6♥ river couldn't give him what he needed. "I told myself you had that, and I still called!" he said, frustrated.
Aaron Speer raised to 160,000 from under the gun and found a call from Sebastian Arce on the button, the blinds folded.
The flop came 9♣3♣2♦ and Speer continued for 135,000. Arce called and both players checked the 6♦ when it came on the turn. They both knuckled the table again on the Q♥ river.
Speer flipped A♠J♣ for Ace-high, which was way behind Arce's 10♦10♣, and he was pushed the pot.
Brendan Keenan raised to 200,000 from middle position, and Jassem Alawadhi moved all in from the big blind for 885,000. Keenan made the call.
Jassem Alawadhi: A♣J♠
Brendan Keenan: A♦Q♣
The board ran out with K♦6♦10♠9♠10♥, and Keenan won with a pair of tens and with the ace and the kicker played.
James Meachen raised from early position to 160,000 only for Thomas Staalager to three-bet all in from middle position for 830,000. In late position , Idan Schabcher then four-bet all in, and he had both players covered. Meachen folded.
Thomas Staalager: A♦K♥
Idan Schabcher: Q♣Q♠
The flop came 10♠J♥6♠ and gave Staalager additional outs to stay alive, but the 6♦ on the turn didn't help, nor did the 8♦ brick on the river, and he was sent to the cage.
It wouldn't be Day 3 of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event if Nicholas Rigby didn't have a big stack.
The Pittsburgh poker player had over 140 big blinds at the first break on Tuesday afternoon. He's no stranger to spinning up a stack in the $10,000 buy-in World Championship event, and he's doing it the same way he's done it in the past — playing any two cards aggressively.
