The 9♠8♦K♥ flop led to a continuation bet of 185,000 from Verderamo. Guerin responded with a raise to 390,000 before Verderamo three-bet to 605,000. Guerin four-bets all-in for 1,040,000 and is called by Verderamo to put Guerin at risk.
Sasha Guerin: Q♠Q♣
Nicholas Verderamo: A♣K♠
Verderamo had the best hand as he outflopped Guerin to hit a pair of kings.
Guerin was unable to improve on the 7♥ turn and the 10♣ river to be eliminated.

Valentin Vornicu has continued his successful Day 3 thus far after opening to 100,000 from the hijack.
Armen Babalarian called on the button and sent them to a flop of 2♠J♠A♠. Vornicu continued for 125,000 and was called by Babalarian.
The 8♦ turn did not slow Vornicu down, as he bet 350,000 on fourth street. Babalarian wasted little time making the fold as Vornicu dragged in the chips.

She Wong: K♦Q♣
Zabronsky held the slight lead, and the flop was safe when it came 10♠8♥6♦ to keep him in front.
The 3♣ turn kept Zabronsky ahead, but the Q♦ on the river was not what Zabronsky was looking for as he was eliminated when Wong improved to a pair of queens.

Action was picked up preflop, with Frank Pasquale all in and at risk against the covering stack of Niall Costigan.
Frank Pasquale: A♠7♥
Niall Costigan: 10♠10♥
Pasquale was drawing slim preflop, and even slimmer on the 4♦4♣8♥ flop. However, the miracle A♥ turn was an incredible sight, and he faded the 2♥ river to secure a double and survival.
