Level 30
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Vanessa Kade opened 320,000 under the gun and Ravi Shankar jammed for 560,000 from the small blind. Kade called.
Ravi Shankar: K♦7♦ 
Vanessa Kade: A♠Q♣
The 8♦4♠3♦ was a good one for Shankar as he picked up a flush draw to go along with his two live cards. The 6♣ turn gave him a straight draw and the 7♠ river improved him to a pair of sevens to double through Kade.

Benjamin Gold opened to 320,000 from the hijack and he was called by Noel Rodriguez in the cutoff, Justin Belforti on the button and Brandon Mitchell in the small blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of K♠3♥5♣ where everybody checked. But after Mitchell and Gold checked again the 3♠ turn, Rodriguez bet 500,000. He was only called by Belforti.
The Q♦ completed the board and Rodriguez checked. Belforti took this opportunity to bet 1,500,000 and made Rodriguez fold.

Immediately after doubling Huihan Wu was back in the action as he raised 320,000 under the gun. The action folded around to Chris Klodnicki who announced all-in from the big blind and Wu wasted no time calling off his 1,830,000.
Huihan Wu: 10♦10♣
Chris Klodnicki: A♦3♦
Wu smashed the J♣10♠9♣ flop, making a set of tens and improved to a full house as the board completed with the 2♠ turn and the 9♥ river.

Huihan Wu shoved the hijack for 715,000 and Ravi Shankar announced a call from the button.
Huihan Wu: A♣J♥
Ravi Shankar: A♦10♣
It looked to be showers for Wu as Shankar made two pair on the 10♠9♦A♠ flop. The 5♣ turn was no help for Wu but the J♦ river gave him a higher two pair which kept him alive late on Day 3.

After just quintupling up, Yiannis Liperis was in the big blind and called off his stack of about 360,000 when Paolo Boi jammed from the small blind.
Yiannis Liperis: J♦8♠
Paolo Boi: K♦2♣
The K♠Q♦Q♠ flop wasn't looking promising for Liperis, although he picked up a glimpse of hope as the 6♠ fell on the turn to give him a flush draw but the 2♦ river was no help, sending him to the payout desk in 14th place.
