Stephen Chidwick raised it up to 6,000 and Vlad Tatu tossed in a hefty three-bet to 50,000. Chidwick gave it brief consideration and moved all in for around 100,000, which Tatu quickly called.
"You called?" Chidwick verified and Tatu nodded, both players then turned over their cards.

and Tatu got there on the river, triggering several gasps from other players at the table including Felix Schneiders.

Here are some of the other players failing to make it to the final break of the day:
Joaquin Sanchez was among three players to call the raise by Jonathan Dokler and checked the ![]()
![]()
flop. Dokler continued for 4,000 and forced folds from Dan Shak and Andrea Benelli on the button. Sanchez check-raised to 12,000 and Dokler called.
On the
turn, Sanchez bet enough to give Dokler the option to fold or call all in, and he opted for the latter.
Sanchez showed ![]()
and Dokler was trailing with the ![]()
. A blank
sent Dokler, who started the day as one of the big stacks, to the rail much earlier than he was hoping for.
After a raise to 6,000 from early position, Martin Jacobson three-bet to 19,000 on the button. Jake Cody was in the big blind and announced all-in for 155,000. The initial raiser quickly folded and Jacobson called just as quickly.

Jacobson held a massive preflop lead and the flop of ![]()
![]()
only improved his outs. The

on the river bricked off as the majority of Cody's chips were sent across the table.
Mustapha Kanit has been tearing up the secondary feature table and soared towards the top of the leader board.
The board read ![]()

with just over 40,000 in the pot already.
Jussi Nevanlinna had a bet of 16,000 in front of him in the cutoff while Chance Kornuth was sitting in the under-the-gun position with the all-in button in front of him and his stack counted out to be 94,500. Nevanlinna was in the tank trying to figure out what to do. After quite a while, Nevanlinna grabbed one of his stacks of 5,000-value chips and put them in for the call to see the cards go on their backs.
Chance Kornuth: ![]()
![]()
Jussi Nevanlinna: ![]()
![]()
They both had flopped a pair with Nevanlinna ahead with the higher pair. The turn gave them both the straight draw to split the pot.
The river completed the board with the
which meant that Kornuth's run in this tournament was over and he quickly left the tournament area.
