170 joueurs ont participé au Day 3 du Millionaire Maker à 1500$ l'entrée et ils ne sont que 20 en lice après une nuit de poker au Rio de Las Vegas. Leader du clan français en début de journée, Thomas Eychenne a été l'ultime éliminé de la soirée, laissant seul François Pirault à la poursuite du bracelet et du premier prix d'un million de dollars!
Avec 5 millions et 25 blindes à la reprise, François Pirault peut rêver d'une finale et d'un exploit. Il fait partie des 20 rescapés d'un field de 5 330 entrants et s'est assuré un gain de 28 480$. Un deep-run qui prouve que le Top Shark n'est pas là par hasard!

Originaire de Floride, Philip Verel fa lui emballé 12,6 millions et 63 blindes, de quoi s'offrir la tête du classement provisoire. L'Américain n'avait commencé la journée qu'avec une dizaine de blindes, il a signé un comeback fracassant. Dans le bas du classement avec 5 blindes à la reprise, l'ancien Top Shark Adrien Delmas a eu lui moins de chance et a sauté en dix minutes...

Thomas Eychenne Eliminated in 21st Place ($28,480)
As the last five minutes of play was winding down, things were heating up on table 439.
With 1,200,000 already in the pot on the 
river, Thomas Eychenne bet 600,000 before Stephen Song moved all-in for 4,000,000 more.
Thomas Eychenne went deep into the tank and studied his opponent.
"I don't see it," said Eychenne. " I don't believe you."
Eychenne continued to think while the tournament clock ran down to the final three minutes of the night.
"Ahh it's tough," he said. "But I don't believe you, ya know?"
Song sat quietly until finally, Eychenne decided on a call.
Song turned over 
for trip tens and a frustrated Eychenne mucked and walked away as Day 4 comes to an end.
