Despite writing "100,000" on his bag last night, and nodding fervently when our reporter asked him if this number was correct, Jared Bleznick began Day 3 with 226,000 chips. On the very first hand, he three-bet to 88,000 after Nacho Barbero had opened to 24,000 in early position. Barbero called.
The flop fell 
, Barbero checked, and Bleznick moved all in for 139,000. Barbero snap-called.
Bleznick: 
Barbero: 
Both players had flopped a set, but Bleznick's set of aces was higher. He held as the turn and river bricked off 
, 
respectively, and doubled to 454,000 chips. Barbero was crippled to 85,000.
A few hands later, after a series of preflop raises, Bleznick was all in and at risk again. Barbero called all in for much less, and Nadar Kakhmazov had both players covered.
Bleznick: 
Barbero: 
Kakhmazov: 
"S***!" Bleznick said at the sight of Barbero's aces.
Not to fret, both players' hands held as the board ran out 
, and Bleznick began to celebrate.
"Yes baby!" he shouted, high-fiving a friend. "Yes!"
He doubled once again, and now sits with 815,000 chips, while Barbero is still short with 130,000 and Kakhmazov dropped down to 220,000.
