Day 3 is off to a torrid pace and the Final Table bubble is already upon the field.
First, James Lillis got it in pre-flop with JxJx against Joseph Cappadona’s 5x5x. The board ran out 9x6x3x5xKx giving Cappadona a set and sending Lillis to the rail first on Day 3.
Chris Lillie was next to go after running into a huge hand from John Lee. Lillie opened in early position and was called by Lee on the button. The flop came 8x8xTx and Lillie got in ~1M on the flop only to find he was in very bad shape holding JxJx against 89s. The board bricked out for Lillie and Lee wins a huge hand moving up to ~5.8M.
Laieta was next after getting in his remaining stack of 540k with 9x9x against Horatio Hu’s 7x7x. The board came 7x6x8x giving Hu a set against Laieta’s straight draw and over-pair but the board bricked out Qx Ax sending Laieta to the rail.
