Vladimir Troyanovskiy Eliminated in 13th Place (�15,290)

Level 28 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Vladimir Troyanovskiy
Vladimir Troyanovskiy

Vladimir Troyanovskiy moved all in for 145,000 from the cutoff, Ioannis Oikonomidis called on the button and Pavlos Xanthopoulos three-bet to 450,000, from the small blind. Oikonomidis called.

With action on the side and Troyanovskiy at risk, three players saw a flop of 7?Q?2?. Xanthopoulos continued for 250,000 and Oikonomidis called.

The 9? turn slowed down Xanthopoulos who checked and then folded to a bet of 375,000 from Oikonomidis.

Vladimir Troyanovskiy: J?2?
Ioannis Oikonomidis: A?A?

The river landed an inconsequential 4? and Troyanovskiy was sent to the rail, while Oikonomidis stacked a monster pot.

Level 28 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Pavlos Xanthopoulos opened under the gun to 125,000, and Ioannis Oikonomidis defended the big blind.

Oikonomidis led for 125,000, and that was enough to drag the pot.

Robert Schulz Eliminated in 14th Place (�12,740)

Level 28 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Gab Yong Kim took an assertive lead early on in Day 3.

He opened to 130,000 on the button, before facing a raise of 460,000 from Robert Schulz in the small blind. Kim tanked for a couple of minutes before four-betting to 1,200,000. Schulz shoved back over the top and got a call from Kim, who was behind to the German's kings.

Robert Schulz: K?K?
Gab Yong Kim: A?Q?

A 8?A?5? flop set Schulz way behind, needing one of two remaining kings in the deck to stay in the tournament.

It didn't come on the J? turn.

A 6? completed the board and confirmed the German's elimination.

Pihela Scoops Another �1,000 Bounty

Level 28 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Straight after his elimination of Lurii Senchylo, Igor Pihela made the short journey to the mystery bounty desk.

He chose an envelope and quickly ripped it open, picking out another �1,000.

'That's my fifth min-bounty in a row' the Estonian said, clearly not too thrilled at missing some of the top prizes.

Luri Senchylo, winner of the first �50,000 bounty prize of the tournament, became the second casualty of Day 3.

He shoved from the small blind and was called by Igor Pihela in the big blind.

Iurii Senchylo: A?9?
Igor Pihela Jr: A?J?

Both flopped top pair, with the board coming 3?A?7?.

A 6? on the turn kept Pihela ahead.

The 3? river confirmed the Ukrainian's exit and gave Pihela another all-important bounty chip.

Youngshin Im Eliminated in 16th Place (�11,070)

Level 27 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Youngshin Im
Youngshin Im

Youngshin Im raised to 115,000 from the hijack, Pavlos Xanthopoulos three-bet to 300,000 from the cutoff and Im moved all in for approximately 1,350,000, sending Xanthopoulos into the tank.

Xanthopoulos was thinking so long the clock was called, eventually prompting him to make the call.

Yongshin Im: A?K?
Pavlos Xanthopoulos: A?Q?

The board ran out 9?J?Q?8?9?. Xanthopoulos pulled ahead as he flopped a queen. His turned nut flush draw only slimmed Im's chances and the river ensured her departure.

Xanthopoulos Makes Strong Start

Level 27 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Pavlos Xanthopoulos, who was second in chips at the beginning of the day, made a strong start already on Day 3.

He limped in from the small blind and Henri Kasper in the big blind checked it to see a flop.

It came 3?5?A? and the Greek led out for 50,000. He was called with Kasper having 370,000 behind.

Both shut down as the A? landed on the turn.

The 10? river also prompted no further action. Xanthopoulos tabled J?3? to take the pot as his Estonian opponent mucked his hand.
