Randy Khalil came into Day 3 as an average stack with around 1 million, and ran it up significantly in the first level of play before getting coolered in a 4 million chip pot.
He cleaned out table opponent Donald Cowie in a two part process. We missed the first hand, however after losing nearly half his stack moments before, Donald open shoved from middle position for just over 400K. Khalil made the call from the blinds and the two tabled their hands.

With that pot, Randy climbed up to nearly 2 million in chips.
Moments later, Randy opened from the cutoff and called the 3bet of Mike Fraser in the big blind. On a
flop, Mike lead out for 375K, roughly half the pot. Randy slid forward a stack of blue T25K chips, raising the action to 1,010,000. Mike replied with an all-in, and Randy snap called – only to find out his
was in terrible shape versus the
of Mike. The turn
and river
brought no help, and Mike scooped the massive pot to put him above 5 million in chips.
22nd place: Randy Khalil – $1,800.00
23rd place: Donald Cowie – $1,800.00
