According to the WPT Blog, action recommenced in Level 25 (15,000/30,000/5,000) and it didn’t take long for the first elimination to occur. It happened when Edouard Dupuis opened for 65,000 and received two callers. When the flop fell J♦9♥5♦, Dupuis moved all in for 200,000 and just Sam Chartier called.
Dupuis: 8♠8♣
Chartier: A♥A♣
Chartier had slow played his pocket rockets, and he scored the elimination after the 5♥ appeared on the turn followed by the 10♣ on the river. Dupuis took home $4,709 for his 39th-place finish.
From there the eliminations continued to mount and included Danny Ayoub (36th - $4,919), Sammy Chao (32nd - $4,919), Eric Davis (30th - $4,919), Chartier (26th - $5,770), and Daniel Cote (25th - $5,770).
Cote fell in Level 26 (20,000/40,000/5,000) when he got his stack all in preflop holding the K♦8♣ only to run into the K♥J♣ of Nicholas Petrina. The 10♠10♥2♥ flop gave Cote some chop outs, but he was left wanting as both the 4♠ turn and A♣ river failed to help him.
Before the end of the night, twenty more players hit the rail including Alexandre Lavigne (21st - $7,473), Eric Afriat (20th - $7,473), Ami Alibay (12th - $12,014), Brent Wheeler (9th - $16,082), Sylvain Siebert (8th - $21,570), and Pierre Guenette (7th - $27,056).
The fourth and final day of play will kick off at Noon local time on Tuesday. Of course PokerNews will bring you a recap of the action upon completion of play.
