At day 3 of the World Poker Tour Championship at the Bellagio in Las Vegas there were 162 players remaining. These 162 players were going to fight for a place at the final table where the winner will be awarded with $2,143,655. Due to the fact that most of the players still have huge stacks compared to the blinds the action has been pretty slow the first two days but that changed at day 3. At the end of day 3 more than half the field had been knocked out and there are now only 62 players left that have to come back to play day 4.
Matt Hyman vs. Steve Sung
Matt Hyman makes a 13.000 raise in late position and Steve Sung who is in the big blind makes a re-raise and Hyman three bets with another 220.000 raise and Sung makes the call. The flop comes J64 and Sung goes all in instantly and Hyman makes the call just as fast. When they flip their cards over Sung shows 1010 and Hyman shows AA. The turn brings the K and the river is a harmless J and Hyman takes down the pot and goes up into the chiplead.
