Action folded to Anthony Casas in middle position on the first hand of the day and he moved all in for 485,000. Cesar Fuentes reshipped from the button to get folds from the blinds.

Casas was racing to stay in the game and needed to improve to double up. The dealer ran out the 9d5d4h3hQd and Fuentes’s sixes held to send Casas out early on Day 3.

Jose Chapui

Jose Chapui was all in and at risk for 515,000 and Albert Barney had him at risk with his much bigger stack.

Barney: 2s2d
Chapui: 7d7h

Chapui was in great shape for a double but Barney made a set of deuces on the 5d4s2h flop. The board finished 3c turn and Kh river for the tough exit.

Albert Barney – 3,700,000 (74 bb)

Mike Beasley opened the action and Raul Jimenez jammed his last 305,000 in the middle. Beasley called and the cards were tabled.

Beasley: AcTd
Jimenez: KhJh

Beasley was ahead and stayed that way after the QhTh7d board but Jimenez flopped all the draws. He had 20 outs twice but blanked the 2d turn and Ts river to exit in 20th place.

Mike Beasley – 965,000 (19 bb)

Matthew Zarcadoolas

Dennis Rodriguez opened to 130,000 from middle position, Matthew Zarcadoolas moved all in for 730,000 from the big blind, and Rodriguez called.

Zarcadoolas: 8s8h
Rodriguez: JhJc

Zarcadoolas was in bad shape with the smaller pair and it got worse on the Qc9c7c flop. The all club flop took away the 8c out for Zarcadoolas and the 2h turn was no help. The 8d was the only card in the deck that could help Zarcadoolas and it came on the river to send him the double.

“Have you ever hit a one-outer?” Mike Beasley asked him.

“Never,” Zarcadoolas responded.

Matthew Zarcadoolas – 1,570,000 (31 bb)
Dennis Rodriguez – 3,900,000 (78 bb)
