Within just five minutes, several players were eliminated in very quick succession to bring the field down to just 48 hopefuls after three levels of play on Day 3.
Among them were Marko Simic, Jesper Hansen and Friedrich Raz.

We joined the action on an board, in a hand between Yair Bitoun and Kenny Hallaert, who is currently ranked 13th worldwide on PocketFives and 3rd in Belgium on The Hendon Mob.
Hallaert had led the turn for 30,000, before Bitoun reached for a bunch of orange 5,000-value and slammed them on the felt. The dealer counted out the raise as 95,000, with Hallaert quickly deciding to put the rest in. He was only asking Bitoun for another 36,000, but Bitoun seemed reluctant to oblige. As the time ran over the 30-second shotclock, forcing him to use one of his timebank cards, Bitoun took one last look at his hole cards and put them into the muck.
