With around 50,000 chips in the pot, the board read 9♣3♥2♥4♠ where Bradley Gafford checked, and Boban Zhivkovikj bet 23,500. Gafford then shoved for 71,500, which sent Zhivkovikj into the tank for while. In the end, Zhivkovikj dropped in calling chips which put Gafford at risk.
Bradley Gafford: Q♦9♦ 
Boban Zhivkovikj: K♥10♥
Either a flush draw or one of his overcards is what Zhivkovikj needed but the 7♠ was neither, which meant Gafford doubled up early on Day 3.

Brett Hoy jammed all in for 26,500 from middle position before Gregory Kelley put his stack of 59,500 in on the button.
Marius Kudzmanas sat in the small blind and tanked for some time before calling with the covering stack.
Brett Hoy: K♣J♣
Gregory Kelley: A♦K♦
Marius Kudzmanas: A♥Q♠
While Daniel Negreanu, who was also sitting at the table, filmed the pot for his vlog, Kudzmanas managed to hit two pair on the 8♠5♥A♠Q♥J♠ runout to eliminate both of his opponents.

Action was joined on the turn with the board reading 2♠4♠K♣A♥. Hai Pham bet 23,000 from under the gun into a pot of about 66,000. Hossein Ensan was in the cutoff and raised it up to 59,000. Pham called.
The river was the 2♦. Both players checked.
Pham tabled the A♠K♦ which was good enough as Ensan mucked.

Kyle Messner shoved his last 31,000 in from the cutoff and Charles Pinckernell looked down at his cards in the big blind.
"Well, ok then," said Pinckernell before he called.
"I think I have you dominated then," replied Messner.
Kyle Messner: A♥Q♥
Charles Pinckernell: A♦K♦
In fact, it was Messner who was dominated and subsequently eliminated as the runout of 4♥9♣8♣5♣10♥ couldn't save him.

Arriving on a turn of 4♣8♠K♠8♦, a sizable pot of 75,000 chips had been built between Jeffrey Tomlinson in the small blind and Or Nezer in the cutoff. Tomlinson then added 40,000 more to the middle and Nezer called.
On the A♣ river, Tomlinson bet another 40,000 and Nezer called after some time. Tomlinson tabled A♦7♦ for rivered two pair, leaving Nezer to muck his cards and shake his head.
