Shaun Deeb began the day as one of the chip leaders, but to say Day 3 didn't treat him well would be an understatement.
Deeb fell to a short-stack recently and was moved to a new table. It was there he would meet his end at the hands of Abe Mosseri. We missed the hand as it unfolded, but Calvin Anderson was kind enough to fill us in after the fact.
As he explained it, Deeb got it in on fourth street with eights, which were behind the queens of Mosseri.

By sixth, Deeb had made two pair, but Mosseri had, too, and his was bigger. Anderson couldn't recall the cards on seventh, but he did say they both bricked. That meant Deeb's day came to an unexpectedly early end.
Jesse Martin opened with a raise to 14,000 and Melissa Burr announced a pot-sized raise from the button, making it 49,000 to go. Action came back around to Martin and he repotted, allowing Burr to call all in for 97,000 total.
Martin:
Burr:
The board ran out , giving Burr a full house of jacks full of queens. She scored the double and now has around 210,000 in chips. Martin, on the other hand, has dropped to about 925,000.
Burr's double up keeps her alive not only in the tournament, but also in her side bet with Robert Mizrachi. Yesterday, Burr tweeted that Mizrachi laid her 15-1 odds to cash in this very event. As long as Burr has chips, she's alive and a contender for this bet.

Rich, Jason, and Donnie then talk about a bevy of stories in the final half of the episode, including all of the recent bracelet winners, the fight between Brandon Cantu and Jesse Martin, and more.
Eric Wasserson has been nursing a short stack for quite some time. Unfortunately, there would be no spinning it up.
In what would be his final hand, Wasserson raised to 20,000 under-the-gun and Abe Mosseri three-bet to 30,000 from the button. The blinds folded, Wasserson got in for 33,000 total, and Mosseri called. Wasserson tabled and was racing against the of Mosseri. It was exciting for a moment, but not after the flop delivered Mosseri a third deuce.
Neither the turn nor river influenced the hand, and that was all she wrote for Wasserson.

Yockey was eliminated, and Berman is left with only 70,000 chips.
"I'm so bad," Yockey sighed before exiting. "Good luck, guys."
Shaun Deeb started the day third in chips, but things haven't been going his way so far today. When we arrived on the scene, Deeb was all in for just 18,000 chips on a flop and Melissa Burr called.
