The remaining three players are on their first 15-minute break of Day 3.
Jans Arends raised to 800,000 on the button with J♥9♦ and was called by Adrian Mateos in the small blind with K♦10♦ and Cary Katz in the big blind with 10♥7♥. The flop came J♠J♣9♠ to give Arends a full house and the action checked around to the 2♣ on the turn.
Mateos led out with a bet of 1,900,000 which got Katz out of the way. Arends just called and the Q♠ rolled off on the river to give Mateos a straight which was no good. Mateos announced a bet of 2,000,000 and Arends reached back for a raise to 12,000,000.
Mateos squirmed in his seat and reached for his time banks, using all six of them before finally sticking in some chips to call. Arends turned over his full house and Mateos was cut down to the short stack.

Adrian Mateos called in the small blind with 4♣3♦ and Cary Katz checked his option with Q♣9♦.
The dealer fanned Q♥3♠2♦ on the flop, giving both players a piece. Katz’s pair of queens were ahead of Mateos’ treys, and Mateos bet 400,000 out of position. Katz quickly called.
The turn saw J♥, which both players checked. The dealer then placed 2♠ on the river and Mateos bet 500,000. Katz, though, raised 1,025,000. Mateos briefly pondered the raise before folding.

The action folded to Chance Kornuth on the button who ripped all in for 5,600,000. Cary Katz asked for a count from the big blind and then called to put Kornuth at risk.
Chance Kornuth: A♠4♠
Cary Katz: A♣J♦
The flop came 6♦5♣2♦ and Kornuth picked up some additional outs with a straight draw. However, the 9♦ on the turn took those extra outs away and the 8♦ on the river made a flush for Katz. Kornuth was eliminated in fourth place and the field quickly dwindled to just three players.

Adrian Mateos made sure it would likely go in when he raised 7,000,000 on the button.
Chance Kornuth folded in the small blind, and Ausmus made his stand as he put in his remaining chips.
Jeremy Ausmus: 10♦8♣
Adrian Mateos: J♥9♥
The dealer placed 4♦J♦A♠ on the flop, and then 3♦ on the turn and A♣ on the river to end Ausmus’ tournament.

Adrian Mateos raised to 600,000 in the hijack with Q♦10♦ and Chance Kornuth flat-called in the cutoff with A♥9♥. They went heads-up to a flop of 10♥8♣4♠ and Mateos continued with a bet of 600,000. Kornuth called and the K♦ rolled off on the turn.
Mateos checked this time and Kornuth slid out a bet of 1,800,000. Mateos called and the 2♥ completed the board. Mateos checked again and Kornuth went for a big bluff with a bet of 4,000,000. Mateos went into the tank for nearly two minutes and then eventually found the call.
Kornuth showed his bluff and Mateos raked in a huge pot with second pair to take over the chip lead.
