Cristian Espineira Larrosa opened to 13,000 in middle position and Salvatore Camarda three-bet to 28,000 in the hijack. Larrosa called.
Larrosa checked on the flop of 5♣4♣9♣ and Camarda checked back. Larrosa checked again on the Q♦ turn and Camarda again checked back.
The 4♠ river completed the board and Larrossa led out for 66,000 and Camarda laid it down.
In a heads-up pot with roughly 40,000 in the middle on a board showing 8♦4♦4♣9♠, Darius Gadeikis led out from the big blind to 18,000 and Marcello Miniucchi put in a raise to 55,000 on the button. Gadeikis made the call and the pair saw the 8♣ river.
Gadeikis took a moment before tossing out a bet of 75,000 and Miniucchi went deep in the tank. After using four time bank chips, Miniucchi let his cards go and the pot was shipped to Gadeikis.
Mihails Morozovs opened to 15,000 from the cutoff and was called by 2023 PCA Main Event runner up Pedro Neves from the big blind.
Neves led out for 15,000 on the A♦K♣8♣ flop and was called. He fired a second barrel of 55,000 on the 2♦ turn. Morozovs quickly moved all in as the bigger stack and Neves made the snap-fold.
"I was hoping you had an ace," commented Morozovs.
"I had many outs," replied Neves with a smile on his face.

The remaining 101 players have been sent on their first 20-minute break of Day 3. Here's a look at some of the highlights from the first level of play:
Action was caught on the river with the A♣10♥9♣8♣A♠ completed board on show. There was around 105,000 in the pot, and Ramon Colillas overbet to 150,000 from under the gun. After some thinking time, Karlic chucked in a chip to make the call.
Karlic became immediately frustrated after seeing Colillas had rivered a boat with his 9♦9♠ and mucked.
Salvatore Camarda raised from the cutoff before Pieter Aerts three-bet to 33,000 from the button. Camarda called.
Camarda check-called for 26,000 on the 8♦8♣7♦ flop before action checked through to showdown following the Q♠ turn and 3♥ river.
Camarda had a pair of queens with his A♥Q♦ and Aerts mucked.
