Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Adam Walton raised to 160,000 from early position and found one caller in Hao Chuang from the big blind before seeing a 5♣3♠6♦ flop.

The action checked through to the 10♣, on which action checked through for a second time to see the A♥ hit the river.

Chuang checked to Walton and Walton reached for chips, but before he could assemble a bet, Chuang quickly folded and conceded the pot to Walton with the simple act of reaching into his stack being enough to take this one down.

Kelvin Kerber moved all in for about 625,000 in the hijack and Pedro Garagnani called on the button.

Kelvin Kerber: A♥9♦
Pedro Garagnani: A♣J♠

The A♦8♥3♣ flop kept Garagnani ahead and the 7♠ turn dashed any hopes of a chop. The J♥ river confirmed the result and Garagnani took the pot to knock out his fellow Brazilian.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Action folded to Frank Lagodich on the button who raised to 160,000. Troy Quenneville was in the big blind and made the call to see the 3♠3♣9♣ flop.

Quenneville checked over to Lagodich who continued with a bet of 100,000. Quenneville made the call and the dealer put the J♣ out on the turn.

Action checked through to the Q♦ river.

Quenneville checked once more only to see Lagodich come out with another bet, this time for 350,000. Quenneville wasn't quick to release his hand, but after a moment, he checked his cards one last time and sent them into the muck.

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

On a 8♦6♦3♠8♠A♦ completed board, Milos Petakovic had 1,250,000 over the line in the big blind and was facing a jam by Vitor Dzivielevski in the small blind.

Petakovic tanked for several minutes and ultimately put in his remaining stack of about 1,050,000.

Dzivielevski tabled 8♥6♥ for a full house, and Petakovic's 9♦2♦ went into the muck as he made his exit.

Kaput for Kanit

Chris Land

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Mustapha Kanit jammed from the hijack for right around 800,000. Action then folded to Renji Mao who made the quick call from the big blind to set up a runout and put Kanit at risk.

Mustapha Kanit: A♣J♦
Renji Mao: 4♣4♥

The 4♠3♥6♣ flop spelled disaster for Kanit who would need running wheel cards to stave off elimination but when the 6♥ hit the turn, Kanit was drawing dead headed to the meaningless K♣ river.

Kanit stood to make his exit from the tournament area as Mao collected the last of his chips here one level into Day 3.
