A player limped in middle position before Sandhy Sitepu raised to 225,000 on the button. Tim Grau then moved all in for 475,000 out of the big blind, getting a fold from the limper but a call from Sitepu.
Tim Grau: K♥K♣J♥3♥ 
Sandhy Sitepu: A♣10♦6♦6♣
The board ran out 3♦Q♦2♦Q♥2♣ to improve Sitepu to a flush while sending Grau to the payout desk.
A few minutes later at a neighboring table, Jake White was also eliminated.
Richard Gryko opened to 175,000 from the cutoff, Sean Winter raised the pot from the blinds and committed most of his stack in doing so, Gryko put Winter all in and Winter called off to put himself at risk.
Sean Winter: A♦A♣10♠6♣
Richard Gryko: K♦Q♦Q♣9♣
The board ran out Q♥J♠10♦K♣10♥. Winter had turned a broadway straight but Gryko improved to a full house on the river to send Winter to the rail and continue adding chips to his stack.
Eelis Pärssinen and Michael Moncek played out the biggest pot of the tournament so far when the former bet the 10♦9♦2♣A♣ turn for 560,000 and then jammed into a pot-sized three-bet to 2,485,000 by Moncek.
Pärssinen's A♠K♦Q♣10♣ were up against the A♥Q♠J♥10♥ of Moncek and the 2♥ river ensured the split pot.
Soon after, Pärssinen knocked out Shaurabh Sharma when his A♦J♥10♦8♥ turned a straight on the Q♥10♠4♥9♣4♦ runout.
In a preflop confrontation Noah Schwartz was all in for around 200,000 and up against Billy Tarango who covered him.
Noah Schwartz: A♦A♠Q♣J♠
Billy Tarango: A♥10♣3♥2♥
The board ran out 3♣10♥4♠9♦7♥ giving Tarango two pair to send Schwartz to the rail and claim the last of his chips.
Cong Pham opened to 125,000 on the button and then called after Juha Helppi potted to 400,000 out of the big blind.
Helppi continued for 100,000 on the 6♥Q♥4♥ flop. Pham made the call.
There was no slowing down for Helppi following the 3♣ turn as he cut out a bet to 200,000. Again, Pham decided to flat.
The Q♠ river saw Helppi go for his opponent's entire stack by betting enough to force Pham all in. Pham did not immediately call, nor he did he appear particularly thrilled with the situation at hand. Nevertheless, he did eventually commit his remaining chips to the pot only to be shown the nuts by Helppi, who held A♦A♥J♣2♥ to force Pham out of the tournament.
With three players seeing a board of Q♣6♥3♦ Sandhy Sitepu checked, Tim Grau bet 100,000 and Kahle Burns called. Sitepu moved all in for around 600,000, Grau folded and Burns called with a covering stack to put Sitepu at risk.
Sandhy Sitepu: 10♥8♣6♠6♦
Kahle Burns: K♥Q♠J♦9♣
Burns was in bad shape with top pair against Sitepu's middle set. Sitepu held up when the rest of the board ran out K♣7♥ to collect a full double up at Burns' expense.
Eric Garma raised in the cutoff to then face a pot-sized three-bet by Tom Dwan to 525,000 on the button. The four-bet shove by Garma followed for 1,545,000 and Dwan used one time bank before he eventually called with the slightly covering stack.
Eric Garma: A♥K♥8♦7♦
Tom Dwan: A♠J♦J♥6♠
The A♣9♠8♥8♣9♦ runout have Garma a full house and left Dwan with 300,000.
Those chips went into the middle in the next hand when he potted from the cutoff and called all in to Viktor Blom's reraise in the big blind.
Tom Dwan: A♥K♣7♥3♣
Viktor Blom: Q♣Q♦6♣5♣
The double-suited ace-king bricked the 10♥8♦2♣J♦J♥ runout, which gave Blom queens-up to send Dwan out in 33rd place.
Erick Lindgren limped in from middle position, Tom Dwan limped behind from the cutoff, Viktor Blom limped behind from the small blind and Jake White limped in the big blind.
All four players checked the Q♦9♠4♦ flop leading to the 9♦ turn. Blom bet 140,000 and only Lindgren called.
The two remaining players checked the 3♦ river. Blom announced he had a nine before tabling 10♣9♣8♣5♣ to take the pot.
Noah Schwartz had raised from an early position to pick up three callers including Liran Twito in the cutoff, Richard Gryko on the button and Joao Vieira in the big blind.
The 9♥6♦2♠ flop was checked to Schwartz and he bet 300,000. Twito folded and Gryko then moved all in to force out Vieira. Schwartz asked for a count and the shove was for 1,630,000, which Schwartz called.
Richard Gryko: K♠K♥9♣5♥
Noah Schwartz: A♥A♠10♥7♥
The 2♣ turn reduced the outs of Gryko but he spiked the 9♠ on the river for trip nines to leave Schwartz completely speechless and very short.
Juha Helppi opened to 150,000 from middle position and was called by Anuj [Removed:550] in the cutoff. Shaurabh Sharma then moved all in for 645,000 out of the small blind, forcing a fold from Helppi. [Removed:550], however, called to put his opponent at risk.
Shaurabh Sharma: A♠A♥K♦J♥
Anuj [Removed:550]: 10♥10♠8♥8♣
Sharma was in a good position to score the double and managed to hold on the K♥Q♥9♠3♦6♦ runout to get off to a great start early on Day 3.
