Facey Takes Another Hit

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

April Facey began the day second in chips with 2,330,000 but has since dropped below 1,000,000 after another massive hit to her stack.

According to Facey, she called a pre-flop raise with {2-}{2-} before Billy Sewell three-bet to 250,000. The original raiser folded and Facey called.

The flop came {q-}{10-}{4-} and Facey shoved for Sewell's last 600,000. Sewell called with {a-}{j-} for a straight draw and two overcards, and paired his jack on the {j-}{8-} turn and river to double up through Facey.

Corey Makes Big Jump, Busts German

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Myles German was all in for his last 300,000 and called by Theodore Corey.

Myles German: {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Theodore Corey: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Corey's queens stayed in front on the {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{j-Diamonds} board to bust German. "I should've just folded, but that's the third-best hand I've hand," German said before making his exit.

Corey, who began the day with 320,000, has more than tripled his stack in the first level of Day 3.

Davis Rivers Rindone

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Robert Davis raised to 65,000 on the button and the small blind called the initial raise. From the big blind Ronald Rindone went all-in for 270,000. Davis thought for a second before re-raising to 570,000 to which the small blind quickly folded.

Ronald Rindone: {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Robert Davis: {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The flop came out {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{7-Spades}, giving Rindone a pair of aces. The turn brought a {5-Clubs} and Davis shouted "King me!" before the river of {k-Hearts} was dealt. Davis had rivered a straight which was good enough for the pot as Rindone left the tournament area.

Cohodes and Coplon Chop; Esposito Gets Away

Level 22 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

David Cohodes put out a bet of 200,000 on a flop of {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and action was on Michael Esposito in the big blind.

Esposito tanked for several minutes before releasing his hand. Ken Coplon in early position, though, raised all in and Cohodes snap-called.

Both players showed the same flopped straight, {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts} for Coplon and {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} for Cohodes.

"Thank God I folded," Esposito yelled as he shot up from his seat, saying he had {q-}{8-} for a lower straight.

Coplon picked up a flush draw on the {j-Hearts} turn, but the river fell {10-Clubs} and they split the pot.
