All the chips went in the middle preflop between Heitor Saraiva, and David Richards who was at risk for his last 36,000.
David Richards: J♠J♣
Heitor Saraiva: A♠K♥
The flop first showed 7♦5♣A♦ to give the top pair to Saraiva, but a J♥ showed up on the turn to save Richards with a set of jacks and the double up after the 7♣ completed the board.

Action was joined with the board reading Q♣5♠Q♦4♣. Zachary Grech, the big blind, bet 13,500. Jean Souprayenmestry, who was under the gun, then began to think. He mulled his options for over a minute before making the call.
The 4♠ arrived on the river. Grech checked this time, leading to a bet of 25,000 from Souprayenmestry. Grech did not make the call, awarding an early pot to Souprayenmestry.

On the second hand of the day, Juan Pardo got his final 18,000 chips in the middle against Lok Chan preflop.
Juan Pardo: K♥J♦
Lok Chan: A♥6♥
Chan flopped an ace on 3♦A♦Q♣. Pardo still had a gutshot straight draw, but it did not come in on the Q♥ turn or the 8♠ river.
He was one of the first few players to see their Main Event dreams get crushed on Day 3.

Jiacong Zhang opened to 5,500 and Ravi Raghavan called a couple of spots to his left before Jon Gisler three-bet 19,500 in the small blind. Zhang took about 30 seconds and made the call, and Raghavan got out of the way.
The dealer fanned a flop of 5♠4♣2♣, and Gisler checked to Zhang who put out a bet of 8,500. Gisler called.
The 7♦ turn and 5♦ river both received checks and Gisler tabled A♦K♣, before Zhang showed 6♦6♥ to drag the pot.

Leonard Maue opened to 5,000 from the cutoff and was three-bet to 15,000 by Barry Greenstein on the button. Action folded back to Maue, who called.
Maue check-called a 15,000 bet from Greenstein on the 7♥3♣2♥ flop and then both players checked on the 7♣ turn.
The K♣ completed the board and Maue checked again, which prompted a 30,000 bet from Greenstein. Maue sighed and tanked for a while before deciding to call. Greenstein showed him A♠K♠ and Maue mucked — awarding the pot to Greenstein.

At the sight of the raise, both remaining players folded and Desimone claimed this pot.
