Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

High-stakes crusher and poker icon Tom Dwan was unable to make it through Day 3 of the 2023 World Series of Poker Main Event, busting just before the dinner break.

Dwan entered the biggest Main Event ever on Day 2 and spun up his starting stack to 426,500 by the time the session ended. His table was selected for the live-streamed feature table on PokerGO, and he started today's action with his chip count heading in the right direction until a few pots didn't go his way.

On Level 13, with the blinds at 2,000/4,000/4,000, Dwan had a stack of 311,000 in front of him. He opened K♠5♠ to 10,000 from early position and called when Brian Atchison three-bet to 25,000 with A♠A♦.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action was picked up on the river. Players were heads up, the board read 3♣4♦J♣Q♥9♠ and there was about 110,000 in the pot. Brandon Shack-Harris had checked and Lander Lijo had moved all in for approximately 115,000, sending Shack-Harris into the tank.

After a couple minutes Shack-Harris put in the call only to be shown the bad news when Lijo tabled J♥J♦ for a set of jacks to secure a full double up.

Frank Visser

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Former chip leader Julio Belluscio got involved in another pot on Day 3 of the Main Event. A board of 5♣9♦2♠2♦ was fanned out, with around 55,000 chips in the middle.

Belluscio checked from the big blind after which Michael Tweedlie made an overbet of 80,000 from early position. A third player quickly got out of the way before Belluscio confirmed the amount and made the call.

The Q♥ river then fell and Belluscio checked to Tweedlie. Tweedlie would make another massive bet when he shoved all in for 329,500 chips, a stack worth more than the current average.

Belluscio went over his options for a few minutes before ultimately sticking in the call. Tweedlie showed down 5♥5♦ for fives full of deuces, and Belluscio was forced to show his Q♠9♣ for two pair.

Belluscio had over one million not too long ago, but now is playing a stack worth just over 100,000 chips in the third level of Day 3.

Player	Chips	Progress
Michael Tweedlie	889,000 611,000	611,000
Julio Belluscio	111,500 -548,500	-548,500

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Leon Sturm, who won Event #22: $50,000 High Roller earlier this summer, opened to 8,000 from early position and got a call from a player in middle position.

Both players checked the 8♣Q♠8♥ flop leading to the 3♣ turn. Sturm checked, his opponent bet 14,000 and Sturm raised to 46,000, receiving a call from his opponent.

Sturm fired again on the 3♥ river for 72,000. After about two minutes in the tank his opponent reluctantly put in the call. Sturm tabled A♥A♠ for the winner and took down a sizable pot.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Tom Dwan opened early to 10,000 with K♠5♠, then called a three-bet from Brian Atchison to 25,000 in the hijack with the rockets. The flop came 3♦10♠J♠ and Dwan check-called a 55,000 bet into a pot of 60,000.

The 5♦ hit the turn, and Dwan once again checked to Atchison, who made it 110,000. Dwan check-shoved with his pair and flush draw, but Atchison nearly beat him into the pot with his aces. The 10♥ river couldn't save Dwan and he hit the rail from the feature table.

Wu Wins a Free Beer and the Pot

Ollie Garland

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Andrew Wu in middle position limped in, the player in the hijack raised to 14,000, the big blind called and so did Wu.

Three-ways to a flop of 2♦7♣K♦. The action checked to the hijack who bet out 13,000. Only Wu continued.

The 3♣ turn checked through to the 10♠ on the river. Wu now took the lead for 38,000.

The player in the hijack thought for a considerable amount of time. Perhaps in the hope of speeding up the decision, Wu told his opponent "Don't call!". The hijack seemingly listen and folded his hand.

Another player at the table begged Wu to show his cards.

"Buy me a beer and I'll show you" he replied as he tabled 3♦3♠ for a turned set.

The next time PokerNews walked past Wu's seat, he had a beer beside his chip stack.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Nadya Magnus raised to 8,000 on the button and got called by Shawn Beaupre in the small blind and the big blind.

The flop gave 7♦5♦Q♠ and the trio checked to see a 10♥ on the turn. Beaupre bet 12,000 and only Magnus made the call.

Things heated on the Q♦ river. Beaupre shoved for 286,000 and Magnus went deep into the tank with the dominant stack. After a few minutes, she ended up calling for the following showdown:

Shawn Beaupre: Q♣Q♥
Nadya Magnus: A♦3♦

Magnus had the nut flush but was facing Beaupre who had hit quads queens, and the latter scooped the big pot.
