William Stanford opened to 240,000 from the button and Norbert Szecsi three-bet to 750,000 from the big blind. Stanford moved all in for 2,800,000 and Szecsi quickly made the call putting Stanford at risk.
William Stanford: J♠J♣
Norbert Szecsi: K♠K♥
The board ran out 4♦Q♠3♣3♥K♦, ending Stanford's deep run while Stanford accumulated even more chips.
After an open by Pedro Garagnani on the button, Ian Matakis in the small blind reraised to 370,000. But the action didn't come back directly to Garagnani, because Norbert Szecsi decided to four-bet to 2,550,000 from the big blind.
Garagnani quickly folded, but not Matakis, who moved all in for 2,690,000. Szecsi didn't have much to add, so he called.
Ian Matakis: A♣J♦
Norbert Szecsi: A♠K♣
In a very bad shape, Matakis was ready to leave on 5♣8♥Q♣6♣. However, luck was on his side as the river J♣ gave him a jack, completing his flush and giving him the best hand. His stack increased to 5,700,000.
A few hands later, it was Brandon Lulov's turn to go all in for 1,170,000 chips against Szesci.
Brandon Lulov: A♠2♥
Norbert Szecsi: Q♠8♠
With the best hand, Lulov had no problem winning the pot on J♦A♥4♣K♠3♦. Like Matakis, he doubled up to 2,700,000. On the other hand, after these two pots, Szecsi was down to 7,400,000.
Tyler Cornell opened to 275,000 from the cutoff and Angelina Rich defended from the big blind.
The flop came 3♠3♦3♣. Rich checked, Cornell bet 175,000 and Rich made the call.
Rich check-called another bet on the J♣ turn, this time for 700,000.
The river was the 5♦. Cornell fired a third barrel, this time for 2,500,000. Rich snap-called and Cornell immediately mucked his hand, allowing Rich to drag another huge pot without having to show her cards.
From the cutoff, Norbert Szecsi opened to 320,000. Brandon Lulov three-bet to 2,200,000 from the button, the blinds folded and Szecsi four-bet all in. With only 50,000 chips left, Lulov didn't wait long before calling.
Brandon Lulov: A♥2♥
Norbert Szecsi: A♦A♣
Bad timing for Lulov to go all in, as he couldn't do anything against Szecsi's pocket aces on a board of Q♠4♥6♠8♦3♠. Lulov finished in ninth place for $86,281.
Pedro Caragnani opened to 410,000 from the cutoff and Norbert Szecsi three-bet to 1,340,000 from the small blind. Szecsi put in a four-bet for the minimum amount, 2,270,000 and Szecsi quickly folded, allowing Garagnani to scoop a decent pot without having to see a flop.
The 8 remaining players just entered Level 30, the 10th level of the day. Initially, the plan was to play until there were five players left. But since the final table will be streamed tomorrow and it is getting late, organizers decided to conclude Day 3 with six players remaining.
