Richard Lord was the first casualty of the night, as he 3bet his short-stack from the small blind facing a late-position open from Maxime Theroux. Maxime committed the extra chips, and both players tabled their hands.

Maxime:

Richard:

Richard has some outs on the flop, but Maxime’s hand prevailed on the to send Richard home in 27th place.

27th place: Richard Lord – $775.00

 

 

Paul El-Khouri was down to only 4 big blinds when an ace appeared is his hands in middle-position. With the pot still unopened, he opted to move-all in, and found a call from Martin Lapostolle in late position.

Martin:

With no help on the board, Paul was eliminated in 26th place.

26th place: Paul El-Khouri – $775.00

 

 

 

Isham Yamani moved all-in for his last 180,000, and found himself up against two opponents – Martin Lapostolle and Patrick Trinh. When the flop brought the , Martin fired a small bet, and Patrick got out of the way.

Martin tabled for a set, and Isham and his : needed some serious help. The running and were not what he was hoping for, as his Day 3 was cut short.

25th place: Isham Yamani – $775.00

As you might predict at this stage in the tourney there has been a ton of early action as short-stacked players try and chip up and the leaders try and take the lead.

In a hand on table 39, Patrick Trinh and Alexandre Blanc tangled, blind on blind. We arrived at the table on a flop of and Patrick bet 40K, and Alexandre made the call. The on the turn brought check-check from the two players, and the on the river induced another bet from Patrick – 75K. Alexandre threw in a chip to make the call but instantly mucked upon seeing Patrick’s and Patrick raked a modest pot.

Just seconds later on table 36 found Billy Kurniawan all-in for his last ~370K and called by Michael Malm.

Billy:
Michael:

The board brought good things for both players: but hope faded a little on the turn. It wasn’t a diamond but the that saved Billy on the river, and he doubled up to stay alive.

The conclusion of The Wild $150 takes place tonight, as 27 players return to battle it out on the felts for the sweet $28,000 top prize, which is accompanied by a Playground Poker Spring Classic Champion’s Trophy.

Two players return sharing the chip lead, as both David St-Louis and William Barcomb bagged an impressive 2,015,000 last night. Kevin Daily also had a powerful Day 2, and being on the wining end of a set-over-set situation near the end of last night propelled him into 3rd place, as he starts the night tonight with 1,950,000.

WSOP-Bracelet winner Michael Malm, who also has 4 final tables here in past series events (including a victory in the $500 + $50 Deepstack Event in the 2014 Playground Poker Spring Classic), is amongst the final 27, as he brings back an above-average stack to the tables, as well as a ton of tournament poker experience.

Isham Yamani is back for his 5th Day 3 in a multi-day $135 + $15 event such as this one, and we can expect him to be a potential threat to his opponents, even if he is on the shorter end of the leaderboard.

“Marathon” George Caragiorgas is one of the shorter stacks coming into Day 3, however we can expect his years of experience to help him navigate his short stack through this dangerous field.

The final 27 includes many experienced players, with both local and international results, and we can therefore expect tonight to be quite the match-up! With $28,000 on the line, everyone will surely be bringing their A-game to the tables tonight…

Good luck!
