Nolan Madene raised to 16,000 in middle position. Jeremy Palvini then three-bet all in for 138,000 from the small blind and was called by Simon Wiciak in the big blind.

Madene quickly got out of the way as the pair showed down.

Jeremy Palvini: AK All in
Simon Wiciak: JJ

The board ran out without an ace or king, with 6Q889 emerging from the deck. Palvini shook hands with Wiciak and was one of the final players departing from the Main Event on Day 3.

Mistake Proves Fatal For Spragg

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Marle Spragg
Marle Spragg

Marle Spragg's table just broke and she was moved to Alexander Seibt and Jack Kiriakus' table, taking Seat 1.

"Welcome to the California hotel," Kiriakus said to her.

Spragg was in the big blind the first hand and defended when button Boris Kuzmanovic raised to 19,000. Kuzmanovic continued for 10,000 on the A108 flop and Spragg quickly folded.

Darius Neagoe then arrived at the table and said he was supposed to be in Seat 1. Spragg then noticed she was actually in Seat 3, and the tournament floor ruled she had to move and pay the big blind again the next hand.

"Are you the same lady as before?" Kiriakus asked.

"Were you not just listening to anything that just happened?" Seibt replied.

Action then folded to Seibt who moved all in from the small blind as Spragg called for her last 35,000.

Marle Spragg: Q3 All in
Alexander Seibt: 87

The 543 flop gave Seibt straight and flush draws, and he hit his flush on the J turn to leave Spragg drawing dead before the 2 river and on her way to the payout desk.

"I take my lessons from Jack," Seibt said after the hand.

Allan Barnes was also recently eliminated from this table, while Kiriakus is up to 1,300,000.

Signoriello Shows Colomina

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

In a blind-on-blind pot, Adria Colomina checked to Alessandro Signoriello on a flop of 899. Signoriello then made a bet of 16,000 into the pot of 50,000. Colomina raised to 50,000 and Signoriello called.

The 5 fell on the turn and saw Colomina revert to a check. Signoriello put in 35,000 chips, leading to a quick fold from Colomina.

Singoriello raked in the pot and showed Q7. "That's nearly a straight flush," Eero Rantala dryly remarked.

Not much later, Colomina was seen exiting the tournament area as he had lost the rest of his chips as well.

Kiriakus In It to Win It

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jack Kiriakus
Jack Kiriakus

Jack Kiriakus raised to 16,000 in middle position before Valeriano Toledano moved all in for 140,000 in the hijack. Kiriakus stood up from his seat and leaned over the table as he considered the decision. "If you don't get in, you can't win," he said as he eventually called.

Valeriano Toledano: 44 All in
Jack Kiriakus: AQ

"This guy came to win a tournament. No min-cashing for him," tablemate Alexander Seibt said about Kiriakus when the cards were revealed. Toledano remained in the lead through the turn on a board of 757J, but Kiriakus spiked the A on the river to win the pot and send Toledano to the rail.

"You're stealing the show. You have no idea how good this is for poker. If you had your own YouTube show," Seibt told him.

"You'll probably be the thumbnail tomorrow," another tablemate added.
