Philipp Zukernik leads the last 53

Day 3 of the record-breaking 2017 partypoker LIVE MILLIONS Russia $5,300 Main Event at the extravagant Sochi Casino and Resort in the Krasnaya Polyana region saw 227 hopefuls out of a 999-entry strong field return to the tables. Only the top 161 spots were paid and seven levels of 75 minutes each later, only 53 players bagged up chips for Day 4.

Leading the field into the penultimate tournament day is Philipp Zukernik with 40,700,000, closely followed by Karen Arutyunyan with 40,175,000 and Aleksandr Merzhvinskiy (37,750,000), while Zdenek Mach (29,650,000) is the only other non-Russian player among the top 10. Day 1b chip leader Dmitriy Kopyl (30,250,000) also bagged up a very healthy stack once again, and he is joined by such familiar names as Michael Sklenicka (24,900,000), Gleb Tremzin (24,225,000), Konstantin Puchkov (22,725,000), $10,300 High Roller champion David Laka (21,950,000), Vladimir Troyanovskiy (21,025,000) and Oleg Titov (19,100,000).

Other big names still in contention include Jeff Lisandro (13,725,000), Maxim Babko (9,375,000), Andrey Pateychuk (8,550,000), Paul Jackson (8,275,000) and 2017 World Series of Poker Main Event finalist Jack Sinclair (7,700,000), while the sole remaining partypoker Sponsored Pro Dzmitry Urbanovich (2,875,000) will start Day 4 with just seven big blinds.

Day 3 action

Among those to miss out on the money in the first three levels of Day 3 were Jeff Hakim, Govert Metaal, Andrey Gulyy, Konstantinos Nanos, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, partypoker Sponsored Pro Richard Dubini, Maxim Lykov, Kenny Hallaert, Dmitry Chop and Dmitry Gromov. After several double ups on the money bubble, it was Markus Ross that was the last to leave empty-handed. The German partypoker qualifier shoved out of the small blind with king-eight and Pavel Frolov snap-called with pocket kings to leave Ross drawing dead on the turn.

What followed was a rainfall of eliminations that started with Natalia Panchenko, and partypoker Sponsored Pro Anatoly Filatov joined the rail soon after. The entertaining and interactive Russian, as usual in action with his mini camera for the fans, ran with pocket eights into pocket kings and failed to improve. Other notables that fell before the dinner break included Manig Loeser and Vladimir Geshkenbein, while partypoker Sponsored Pro Johnny Lodden had to settle for 102nd place.

Just before that, Sylvia Hewitt was eliminated in a spectacular fashion when she got her stack in with ace-queen for top pair and top kicker on a three-way flop. Both Arsen Karmanukyan and Aleksandr Chernikov had ten-nine suited for the flopped nut straight with Karmanukyan also holding a spades flush draw. Instead, running diamonds gave Chernikov a winning flush and his enormous scream of celebration earned him a massive pot and penalty.

Steve O'Dwyer had to settle for 69th place and Vytautas Milbutas was eliminated on the feature table to bow out in 60th place. By then, Philipp Zukernik, Karen Arutyunyan and Aleksandr Merzhvinskiy were already at the top of the counts. Merzvhinskiy won a huge pot on the feature table with queens versus jacks and Arutyunyan held up with jacks versus ace-king to bust Ivan Arbatskiy. A big portion of Zukernik's stack was the result of cracking the aces of Armen Khachatryan when his jacks improved to a runner-runner straight.

Seven minutes of an additional level were played to reduce the field to the last 54 hopefuls, and another elimination on the feature table during the last hand left just 53 participants in contention. They will return with 68 minutes left at blinds of 200,000/400,000 and a button ante of 400,000, and the six remaining tables are moving to the theatre.

The PokerNews live reporting team will provide all the action until a winner is crowned on Thursday September 14th 2017.

Pavel Kovalenko and Aliaksandr Maistrenka Last Casualties of the Day

Niveau 21 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

A few minutes into the new level at blinds 200,000/400,000, Pavel Kovalenko moves all in for 1,875,000 from under the gun. The player in middle position calls before it folds to Oleksiy Kravchuk in the small blind who three-bets all in for just under 20 million.

"Why do you do that?" asked the middle position player, "You only do that with Aces or Kings." He folded.

Kravchuk turned over {a-Clubs}{q-Spades} against the {a-Hearts}{4-Clubs} of Kovalenko.

The board ran out {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Kovalenko was eliminated. At the same time over on the feature table, Aliaksandr Maistrenka failed also to hold up and became the last casualty of the day.

Players are now bagging up for the evening. Stay tuned for a full recap of the day's action.

Chusovitin and Medvedev Sent to the Rail

Niveau 21 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

The next two players to join the rail were Andrey Chusovitin and Mikhail Medvedev. The latter got his short stack in with {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} and Mikhail Surin looked him up with the {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}. After a board of {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, the kicker played a crucial role to eliminate Medvedev and the field was reduced to the last 55 hopefuls.

Smyth and Banks Gone

Gary Banks

Peter Smyth busted on the feature table and Gary Banks followed in the main tournament room to make it two British casualties in quick succession.

Banks defended his big blind with {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and check-called a bet on the {A-}{4-}{2-} flop. The {10-Clubs} turn gave him the nut flush draw on top of his two pair and Banks check-shoved to see Tkachenko call with {A-}{6-} and spike a six on the river.

Vytautas Milbutas Eliminated on Feature Table

Vytautas Milbutas
Vytautas Milbutas

On the feature table it folded to Michael Sklenicka who moved all in for 11 million. He covered Vytautas Milbutas in the big blind. Milbutas had 2,850,000 and called.

Sklenicka: {10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Milbutas: {j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

The board came {6-}{9-}{9-}. Milbutas asked for two kings. There was one on the {k-} turn, but the river was a blank. Milbutas finished in 62nd place, another good run after going deep in the EAPT Grand Final a few days ago.

Pavel Frolov Eliminated by Andrey Berinov

Niveau 21 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

A player opened to 600,000 from middle position. Andrey Berinov called in the hijack, as did the player in the small blind.

Pavel Frolov was in the big blind and he three-bet all in for 3,350,000. The initial raiser folded and Berinov called. The big blind took his time thinking about his and Berinov's stack before folding.

Berinov: {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Frolov: {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}

The board ran out {j-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{6-Spades}{k-Spades} and Frolov was eliminated.

Zhdan Runs Out of Chips

Niveau 21 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

The next trip that joined the rail included Oleg Zhdan. He was down to 3.5 million and moved all in from the hijack, while Dmitriy Kopyl called in the cutoff.

Zhdan showed {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and was in need of help, as Kopyl had him dominated with {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}. The {J-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop was bad for Zhdan, as he now even needed running cards in order to stay in contention. However, the {8-Clubs} turn and {3-Spades} river brought no miracle and Kopyl raked in the pot.

Niveau 21 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Within quick succession, Yevgeniy Alikin, Nikolay Prokhorskiy and Denis Ten have been sent to the rail. Ten bet a flop of {8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} against table neighbor Andrey Tkachenko and shoved the {K-Clubs} turn only to see Tkachenko snap-call with {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds} for a set. Ten only had pocket fives and the {6-Clubs} river was a blank.
