Shay Takes from Cutler

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Heads up to the turn of 10A3Q and Bryan Shay bet out for 23,000 from early position. Evan Cutler, in the cutoff, made the call.

The action went check, check, on the K river, and Shay tabled QK for two pair, which was streets ahead of Cutler's A6 with top pair and a missed flush draw, and Shay was pushed the pot.

Kassouf Has Aces Cracked

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Will Kassouf
Will Kassouf

Following a series of raises preflop, middle position Emmett King and Will Kassouf in the cutoff got it all in, with Kassouf holding number one.

Emmett King: JJ All in
Will Kassouf: AA

Kassouf had a commanding lead, even covering one of his opponent's suits. The 274 flop seemed innocent enough, but the Q turn gave King a whole host of outs. The 10 river was one, as King's runner-runner flush propelled him to both a double, and survival.

Kassouf remained uncharacteristically quiet as his chips were handed over.

Finger Has No Pulse After Clash with Zizka

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Zdenek Zizka
Zdenek Zizka

A series of raises led to the chips getting in the middle preflop between Martin Finger from the hijack and Zdenek Zizka in the big blind, with Finger at risk for approximately 112,000.

Martin Finger: AQAll in
Zdenek Zizka: QQ

Finger had a weak grip on his chances for a double-up as Zizka had his hand dominated as they went to a runout.

The 3105 flop was of no use to Finger as his chances dwindled further.

Finger was unable to find a hold on the 2 turn and the 6 river as he exited the tournament.

Zizka, with that win, continued his massive Day 3, as the pot had him cross the eight-hundred-thousand mark.

Pappas Got Some Brand New Chips

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Matas Kacinskas raised to 6,000 from under the gun, which both Dimitar Danchev and Clifford Pappas called from the button and big blind.

The action checked through to Danchev on a 563 flop, who bet 6,000. Pappas then check-raised all in for 90,500. Kacinskas was interested in the bet and asked the dealer for a count. Once he received the number, he gave it some thought before folding. Danchev was much quicker to reach a decision, as he folded straight away.

Mierzejewski Jams On Estes

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Action was picked up on the turn between Robert Mierzejewski in the small blind and Michael Estes in the cutoff.

The board read 10829 and Mierzejewski bet 21,000 to see Estes call.

On the river 4, Mierzejewski moved all in for 77,000 effective, and Estes went into the tank.

"Sorry guys, just give me a minute," said the 3-time WSOP Circuit ring winner as he went into the tank contemplating the decision.

After some thought, he folded QQ face up, and Mierzejewski was awarded the pot.

Boika Binks with Big Slick

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Aliaksei Boika
Aliaksei Boika

In a hand just before the break, Toby Clifton opened from middle position, and Nathan Bomey called on the button. Aliaksei Boika moved all in from the small blind for his last 97,000, and only Bomey made the call.

Aliaksei Boika: AKAll in
Nathan Bomey: AK

The table was expecting a chop, but the 1075 flop saw Boika flop the flush and lock up the double from Bomey.

The pot was pushed his way after the dealer placed the 3 turn and 4 river card. Since then, Boika has collected even more chips and is just shy of 500,000.
