Vince Dwyer had his opponent Rostand Asselin right where he wanted, but ran into some unfortunate luck to get eliminated from Event 3.

Both players, who started the hand with fairly even stacks, found themselves with all their chips in the middle on a board showing Jack of Hearts 5 of Clubs 6 of Hearts. Vince and his 5 of Hearts 5 of Spades were far ahead of Rostand’s Ace of Hearts Ace of Diamonds, but the turn and river changed all that, as two hearts fell (7 of Hearts Queen of Hearts) to improve Rostand’s hand to the nut flush. Rostand collected what was the biggest pot so far in the tournament, and he now sits somewhere over the 1.4M chip mark, making him our current chip leader.

We will be back shortly with a more detailed leaderboard.
