Gumz Busts Balzano
Ivan Balzano opened under the gun plus one for 5,000,000 leaving himself about 700,000 or so behind. It folded to Fabian Gumz in the big blind who pushed. Balzano used the timebank card he had left to think about it, hoping someone would go out on another table first as there was a money bubble ongoing. He eventually called when the other tables didn’t show any sign of action.
Ivan Balzano: [7s7h]
Fabian Gumz: [QcQh]
The board ran out an uneventful [Ad9hTc] [5c] [4c] and Balzano exited.

Gabrenja Doubles
Chino Rheem opened the hijack for 800,000 and his neighbor Matias Gabrenja shoved for 4,875,000. The action folded to Rodrigo Cariola in the big blind who tanked and then reshoved.
“Ok, that makes it a lot easier for me,” Rheem said before folding pocket sixes.
Matias Gabrenja: [JdJc]
Rodrigo Cariola: [9s9d]
The flop of [KdQs9c] was good for Cariola but the [Js] on the turn hit Gabrenja. The [7d] that completed the board was a blank and Gabrenja doubled.

”I’m Going to Teach You to Not Limp My Button”
Brunno Botteon De Albuquerque was one of the online players who found their way to Day 3. He just doubled up Chino Rheem and Rheem, and his neighbor Rainer Kempe, were kind enough to provide the details.
De Albuquerque limped under the gun and another player limped as well. Rheem pushed his entire 6,450,000 stack in the middle and he was called by De Albuquerque. The other player that limped folded.
Rheem had [kdqh] and was flipping against [tstd]. He won the flip after the [qs8c4cjdjc].
Kempe added after the hand that ”He [Rheem] stood up before he pushed all in and said he was going to teach them to not limp on his button”.
Rheem achieved exactly that as he now plays an above-average stack of 13,500,000.
