Players waisted no time jumping into the action in this Day 3 of The $250 Frenzy, and we’ve already seen a few of them hit the rail.
The first to go was Alain Mathieu, who was in the big blind facing an early position open from Tomas Larivee Magni, which was flat called by James Wesley, and 3bet all-in by Rami Hammoud. Alain decided to go to war with his
and pushed his ~300,000 stack in, finding himself heads-up with Rami and his
. With no help on the board, Alain was the first casualty of Day 3.
Moments later Ken Stutz under-called the all-in shove of Shane St John, and found his tournament life on the line on a flip. His
fell second best to the
of Shane, who paired on the
and added 550,000 new chips to his stack, while Ken finished in 32nd place.
Jason Williams was down to 3 big blinds when he moved in from the small blind in an unopened pot, unfortunately for him he found a call from Tomas in the big blind, who had him crushed. Jason flopped a flush draw with
, but didn’t improve against Tomas’
on the
board to bust in 31st place.
Jaroslaw Sbigniew Jaskiewicz was waiting for a spot to make something happen with his short stack, however his
short-stack move was looked up by Santos Ciulla with
, who ended up winning the pot, bringing us down to 29 players.
Andrew Hansen moved in two hands in a row moments later. On the first hand, he chopped with his opponent as they both had ace-high on a paired board. The next hand he moved in from utg holding
, and lost to the
of Shane, who called the small all-in from the big blind.
James Wesley was eliminated in the same time in 28th place. We missed the exact action, but we were told Andrew Boujaoude moved all-in from middle position with AQ, and was called by James with AJ, who failed to improve.
With that, we are now down to 27 players, and a redraw is in course.
