Agustin Mendez Eliminated in 10th Place ($45,770); Bobby Poe Eliminated in 11th Place ($45,770)
Bobby Poe was under the gun and moved all in for his remaining 16,000,000 stack. Agustin Mendez was next to act in the cutoff and rejammed for 17,800,000. Ramaswamy Pyloore was in the big blind and pondered before saying "why not" and moved a stack full of chips into the middle to make the call.
Bobby Poe: A♣Q♦
Agustin Mendez: 8♦8♠
Ramaswamy Pyloore: 3♦4♦
Mendez was initially ahead preflop but Poe picked up a pair of queens on the 6♥J♦Q♣ flop.
The 7♣ was turned, which gave Pyloore a gutshot straight draw. He was calling for a "five, five" before the dealer peeled the last card.
A 5♦ came on the river, and Pyloore stole yet another pot and secured a double elimination in the last hand of the day.
Pyloore goes into the unscheduled Day 4 tomorrow as the clear chip lead, returning with around a quarter of the total chips in play.
