Christian Rudolph raised to 45,000 and John Esposito three-bet to 120,000. Rudolph folded and Esposito raked in the pot. Table neighbor Martin Kabrhel engaged in some table chat with floor staff and inquired about Esposito, who exposed his gold bracelet from 1999 at the Horseshoe.
"Can I have a look?" Kabrhel asked and his request was obliged.
Meanwhile, one table over, Vivian Im raised to 45,000 and Asi Moshe called on the button. On the flop, Im bet 40,000 and Moshe called. The turn saw a check by Im, a bet for 88,000 by Moshe, and a reluctant call by Im.
The river completed the board and Im checked again. Moshe bet 100,000 and Im was in the think tank. The clock was called on her and she folded with five seconds remaining.
In the first 90 minutes of Day 3, the field has been reduced from 28 to the last 21 hopefuls and they have been sent into their first 15-minute break of the day.
Martin Kabrhel raised to 37,000 from the cutoff and Goran Mandic moved all in for his last 110,000 from one seat over. Kabrhel reluctantly called and John Esposito in the small blind said, "That should have been a snap call."
Mandic:
Kabrhel:
The board came and Kabrhel rivered the eight to eliminate Mandic in 22nd place for $12,297. Esposito had previously called the clock on Kabrhel and promised to do so again. "I won't give you more than two minutes unless it is for your tournament life."
Asi Moshe raised to 35,000 and Thomas Mcteer called in the small blind, as did Alex Queen in the big blind. The flop fell and the action checked to Moshe, who bet 44,000. Only Mcteer called before betting the turn for 110,000. Moshe folded.
Soon after, Moshe four-bet shoved against Queen and the latter forfeited his three-bet to 110,000.
Asi Moshe raised to 35,000 and James Gilbert moved all in for 164,000 from the hijack. After some consideration, Moshe called and the cards were turned over.
