The final heads-up match-up of Round 3 is between Weston Mizumoto and John Smith, with neither player looking to be the last player to leave empty-handed.
Following Smith's double-up, he's added a few more chips to his stack.
Smith took down two limped pots before Mizumoto got two jams through preflop.
Each player then gave their opponent a walk.
In another limped pot, Smith check-called for 30,000 from the big blind on the K♠J♦2♣ flop before the 7♣ turn and 9♦ river checked through to showdown.
Smith tabled K♦5♣ for top pair and Mizumoto mucked.

James Gorham open jammed his remaining 474,000 chips and was snap called by Nikolai Mamut in the big blind, putting Gorham at risk.
James Gorham A♥8♠
Nikolai Mamut A♣J♠
Gorham needed help to stay alive in this heads-up event, and the flop that came 6♣9♦4♠ did not give him any additional outs. The K♣ on the turn meant that only an eight would keep him in the tournament. The 9♣ on the river secured Mamut the victory, and he will advance to play Maro Grujic in the Quarterfinals later today.
