All-In Bonanza Begins

On the first hand of Day 3, Troy Donaldson moved all in for 75,000 in early position as action folded around to Larry Fuqua in the big blind, who called.

Troy Donaldson: A♣9♠
Larry Fuqua: K♣Q♣

The board ran out J♣7♥10♠6♣J♥ and Donaldson won the pot and earned a double up with his ace-high.

At the same time on another table, several players limped in before Osama Aweida in the big blind shoved for 95,000. The table folded around to Josef Hollander in the small blind and he called.

Osama Aweida: K♦2♦
Josef Hollander: 10♣10♥

Any hope Aweida had of staying alive in the tournament was nearly completely dashed on the 10♠5♥6♠ flop as Hollander made top set. He was already drawing dead on the 6♥ turn and the meaningless river was the Q♥.

"Nice to meet you," his tablemates joked as a still-smiling Aweida made a short appearance on Day 3.
