Championship Event Day 3

On a flop of 7 5 2 rainbow, Andrew Lee moved all-in. Daniel Fischer asked for the count (84,100) and tanked for a couple of minutes. Someone called for the clock and before time expired, Daniel made the call. His pocket Tens were already ahead of Andrew's 87 (pair of 7s) but when a Ten came on the turn, Andrew was drawing dead. River was a useless 8. Andrew hit the rail.

Over on table four, Brandon Vargas was ousted by James Ostrander's flopped straight.

Edip Ayaz doubled through Benjamin Ludwig when his pocket Aces held against Benjamin's pocket Kings. Edip is close to 600k. Benjamin was left with about 100k.

Scott Lazewski was all-in for his last ~6k against Bryan Greeley and Steven Curtin, who checked down the King-high board. Scott's AQ was useless against Steven's KJ which made a pair of Kings (Steven had pocket Jacks). Scott reported to the rail.

40 players remain. 36 get paid. Four more to the money.
