Rush Hour at the Payout Desk
Within just five minutes, several players were eliminated in very quick succession to bring the field down to just 48 hopefuls after three levels of play on Day 3.
Among them were Marko Simic, Jesper Hansen and Friedrich Raz.
Simic raised to 600,000 and was called by Alamzad Sina in the small blind. Sina check-called a big bet by Simic on a king-high flop with two hearts and then set Simic all in after the 
turn. Simic only had 1.4 million behind and called with ace-king. Sina showed 
for a gutshot and flush draw that had improved, and that was it for the German with the nickname "Mubble."
Pavel Stolar's all in for 2,150,000 was called by Sonay Kehya and Raz called all in for just 750,000.
Friedrich Raz: 
Pavel Stolar: 
Sonay Kehya: 
The board came 
and Stolar more than doubled.
Just one table over, David Taborsky open-shoved the small blind with 
and Selim Cerci quickly called with 
. The flop of 
left Taborsky in desperate shape, and the miracle never happened with the 
turn and 
river.
Hansen was waiting at the payout desk, his ace-ten came up second best to ace-seven.
