Sinclair Cripples Pahuja
We arrived with [6c2d9h] [Js] [Ac] showing and Mukul Pahuja (small blind) with 3.2 million in front of him with 600,000 back. Jack Sinclair (under the gun) already had 1.4 million committed and was seemingly check-raised by his American foe. He was now contemplating calling 1.8 million more.
After using two time banks, Sinclair called. Pahuja showed [7d7c] and the pot was shoved to Sinclair who tabled [Ad9d].
Pahuja busted not much later.

Suarez Pushes Gonzalez Deep into the Tank
Preflop, Fabrizio Gonzalez opened to 325,000, raised by cutoff Anton Suarez to 1,175,000. Both players had over 10 million at the start of the hand.
Flop: [Qd8h7s]. Gonzalez check-called a bet of 1,200,000.
Turn: [7d]. A quick check and slightly slower call of Suarez’s 2,000,000 bet.
River: [3h]. Gonzalez checked again and Suarez set him all in, for about 6,000,000. Understandably, Gonzalez had a think about this. He laid out his timebank cards and the dealer removed them one at a time until he’d thought for over two and a half minutes. Finally, he folded and was immediately moved table.

O’Kearney One of the Early Exiters
Dara O’Kearney’s trip to the cash desk was worth $20,000, but it was taken early on Day 2. Passing table 22, we heard him say something about “aces” with a smile. After he left his table, Niall Farrell indicated that he would have been taking him on, had his eliminator not done so.
“I saved you,” said Farrell. “I had sixes and I was doing that as well…” He illustrated “that” by pushing out a stack of blue 100,000 chips, in the age-old “set you in” signifier.

Delay for Live Reporting Now One Hour
The live stream began taping at noon with an hour’s delay instead of half an hour; we will now pause coverage of the outer tables so that it is not ahead of the information on the stream (or providing spoilers!).
Rettenmaier Short Losing Queens to Ace-Jack and King-Ten
Diego Zeiter, who had played his way to Day 3 online, came into the day relatively short. In one of the first hands of the day, the action folded to him in the cutoff and he shoved for 1,465,000. His neighbor, Oskar Prehm, over shoved from the button for about 5,000,000. Big blind Marvin Rettenmaier called instantly.
Diego Zeiter: [KhTd]
Oskar Prehms: [AsJh]
Marvin Rettenmaier: [QcQd]
Rettenmaier was the favorite going in but had some cards to dodge. The flop of [JcJd4s] favored Prehms and the [Ks] on the turn and [Tc] on the river didn’t change anything anymore.
| Player | Chips | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Oskar Prehm | 11,755,000 |

Ben Cherif Busts on Hand #2
Rachid Ben Cherif started the day with under half a million chips, and they gathered no dust. He obtained that first hand double through, then moved all in from the cutoff on the second over a mid-position open from Jack Sinclair (350,000 to 1,200,000). Sinclair called with [ad6d], up against Ben Cherif’s [4s4d]. Sinclair hit both pairs on the [kskh6sahqd] runout and Ben Cherif is busto.

Ben Cherif Doubles on Hand #1
Rachid Ben Cherif started out as the shortest stack in the room and in the first hand of the day, the action folded to him on the button. He shoved for 480,000 and big blind Michael Benjamin Jones called.
Rachid Ben Cherif: [Kd7c]
Michael Benjamin Jones: [Ks5c]
The board ran out [Ah6d7d] [Tc] [8s] and Ben Cherif doubled. While he now has twice the number of chips he started with, he’s still one of the shortest players in the room.
