We had plenty of action in the lead-up to the final two tables just now in our Day 3 finals. First WSOPC ring winner Anthony Pitesa busted in 21st after a wild runout. He shoved his final 10 bigs and change on the button with [Jd][8d], but right next to him, Vazrig Sabounjian had woken up with pocket kings. The flop came [Qh][Qd][Jc], giving Pitesa a glimmer of hope, and that glimmer shined when the [Js] came on the turn. However, an improbable third queen came on the river, counterfeiting Pitesa and giving Sabounjan’s kings the bigger full house.
Then, former Mega Millions winner Dave Banerjee won a huge three way all-in with pocket aces, dodging a gutshot straight draw that the biggest stack got on the flop. As a result, he is now the chip leader with 17 left.
