Play wrapped up on Day 3 with the elimination of Sorel Mizzi on the final table bubble when he moved all in with AK on a Q94 board and was called by Hwang with KQ. The board completed 35 and Mizzi became the 11th-place finisher for $18,071.
Brad Booth and Cary Katz were the first two casualties of the day in an unusual hand. Calenzo was all in with AA and a short stacked Katz moved all in for less with KQ. Booth also moved all in for less than Calenzo with KK and when the board ran out Calenzo’s Aces held for a double knock out.
Other big names who were eliminated on Day 3 included Christina Lindley, Loren Klein and Russian pro Kirill Kruglov.
