Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Vladislav Solovev became one of the first casualties of Day 3. Sitting in the small blind, he shoved over the top of Luke Marsh's 10,000 open from the cutoff. Solovev got called and was covered as it went to the flop.

Vladislav Solovev: 10♥10♠
Luke Marsh: K♣Q♠

The Mexican got no help on the 2♥4♣A♠ flop and was still behind.

Nothing changed on the 9♠ turn.

A J♦ on the river confirmed Solovev's exit, while Marsh improved to around average stack.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jacek Skiscim raised to 12,000 under the gun and Ettore Esposito moved all in for 20,000 in middle position. Bleron Maliqi called in the big blind, but Skiscim came back with a reraise to 57,000 forcing out Maliqi.

Ettore Esposito: A♥5♣
Jacek Skiscim: K♣K♥

Esposito picked up a straight draw on the 3♣2♥3♦ flop, while the turn was the 10♦. The river brought the 4♥ and Esposito completed his straight to triple up.

At the same time at another table, Cairo Bombarde El Kadre moved all in for 45,000 from middle position and Vlado Banicevic called in the hijack.

Cairo Bombarde El Kadre: Q♣10♣
Vlado Banicevic: A♥J♥

The flop came A♦J♣7♣ and Banicevic made top two pair, while El Kadre had straight and flush draws. The turn, though, was the A♠ and Banicevic improved to a full house to leave El Kadre drawing dead by the 6♦ river.

Dan O'Hair

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Konstantinos Tzinis opened to 10,000 from the cutoff and Patrik Zidek shoved for his last 130,000 from the small blind. Action folded back to Tzinis, who tossed in a call to put Zidek at risk.

Patrik Zidek: A♥J♦
Konstantinos Tzinis: 10♠10♦

It was a fair fight, but the K♠7♦4♦Q♠K♦ runout failed to improve Zidek and he was eliminated.
