Tim Reilly opened the cutoff to 100,000, and Paul Stanechewski called all in for 110,000. Sam Soverel called in the big blind, too, creating action on the side.

The board ran out Qc9s4sKc4h with the two live players checking it all the way down. Since Stanechewski was all in, all three hands were tabled.

Reilly: Ah5s
Stanechewski: Js8s
Soverel: 7d9d

Soverel’s pair of nines was good enough to win him the pot, eliminating Stanechewski in 11th place.

The final 10 players are now bagging up to signal the end of Day 3, and action will recommence Wednesday at 11:00 a.m. A list of chip counts and a recap of the day’s action will be published shortly.
