Action was heads up with 175,000 in the middle and a full board of 10♣A♣6♣2♠8♥ when Byeolram Yu bet 125,000 from the small blind. Marin Rojas fired back with a jame of his last 540,000 and Yu went into the tank.
After a few moments of thought, Yu folded KxKx face up.
"Wow," Rojas said as he dragged in the pot.
Miltiadis Kyriakides answered an open from Brandon Leetz by moving all in for his last 385,000 from the big blind. Leetz made the call and the cards were turned up.
Miltiadis Kyriakides: A♣10♥
Brandon Leetz: K♦J♦
Kyriakides remained in front after the 4♠9♥7♦ flop, but the 8♦ turn brought Leetz both straight and flush draws.
The J♥ river gave Leetz a pair but completed a straight for Kyriakides, earning the early double up.
Henri Benoni jammed 640,000 from the button and Nariman Yaghmai looked up him from the big blind.
Henri Benoni: K♦9♦
Nariman Yaghmai: 8♥8♠
The board ran out A♦8♦9♣2♣A♠ and Yaghmai flopped a set of eights and rivered the full house to send Benoni to the rail.
After losing much of his stack early, Sam Tropez found himself all in and at risk against Robert-Andrei Burlacu.
Sam Tropez: J♣10♥
Robert-Andrei Burlacu: Q♠Q♥
The runout of 2♦3♥3♣A♦2♠ provided no help, as Tropez made his way to the payout desk early on Day 3.
Dan Petrea moved all in from under the gun for 455,000 and Johny Mendes moved all in on top from the button with a covering stack to put Petrea at risk.
Dan Petrea: A♦Q♣
Johny Mendes: J♣J♥
It was a classic flip that Mendes pulled ahead of on the 8♥4♠5♦ flop. Mendes spiked a set on the J♠ turn leaving Petrea calling dead. The 7♦ river was inconsequential and Petrea was sent to the rail while Mendes collected a decent pot.
Mihai Trofim raised from the cutoff and Harpreet Gill shoved around 700,000 from the big blind. Trofim called quickly and the cards were turned up.
Harpreet Gill: K♥8♣
Mihai Trofim: A♠Q♥
The board ran out Q♦A♦7♠4♦A♥ and Trofim flopped two pair to send Gill to the rail in the opening throes of Day 3.
Sergio Garcia Leon raised to 80,000 from under the gun and found one call from Luc Lafontaine in middle position.
The flop of 7♠J♣6♥ saw Leon continue for 65,000, only to be raised by Lafontaine to 175,000. Leon did not take long to consider his options, finding a quick fold and slid the chips to Lafontaine.
