Yongshin Im: A♦K♣
Pavlos Xanthopoulos: A♠Q♠

The board ran out 9♦J♠Q♥8♠9♥. Xanthopoulos pulled ahead as he flopped a queen. His turned nut flush draw only slimmed Im's chances and the river ensured her departure.

Weiss

Nível 28 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Gab Yong Kim took an assertive lead early on in Day 3.

He opened to 130,000 on the button, before facing a raise of 460,000 from Robert Schulz in the small blind. Kim tanked for a couple of minutes before four-betting to 1,200,000. Schulz shoved back over the top and got a call from Kim, who was behind to the German's kings.

Robert Schulz: K♠K♦
Gab Yong Kim: A♣Q♦

A 8♠A♥5♣ flop set Schulz way behind, needing one of two remaining kings in the deck to stay in the tournament.

It didn't come on the J♠ turn.

A 6♣ completed the board and confirmed the German's elimination.

Ioannis Oikonomidis: A♣A♠

Weiss

Nível 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Gab Yong Kim was back on the offensive, as he looked to further add to his tally of bounties.

The action began with the cutoff opening to 160,000. Adam Martinsson then shoved all in for his remaining 510,000 from the small blind. Chip leader Kim then reraised to 1,000,000, which forced out the cutoff and sent it heads up, with another bounty on the line.

Adam Martinsson: A♠Q♣
Gab Yong Kim: 7♥7♠

A 10♠9♠A♦ flop was a great one for Martinsson, as he took the lead in the hand.

The 4♥ landed on the turn and the Swede looked set to double up.

But a dramatic 7♣ river gave the Korean a set and sent Martinsson to the rail.

Igor Pihela Jr: Q♦Q♠

The J♥9♥8♣ flop gave both players a straight draw, while Gicovanu picked up a flush draw. The 9♣ turn, and 2♠ river were no help for Gicovanu though as he exited the table in 10th place.
