Matthew Smith
Warren Sheaves opened to 85,000 and Matthew Smith reshipped for 740,000 from the cutoff. Hamid Izadi moved all in over the top from the big blind and Sheaves folded.
Smith: Izadi:
“I knew you meant business the way you shoved,” Sheaves joked after the cards were flipped up.
Smith needed a lot of help to stay in the Main Event but his hand whiffed the board to send him out early on Day 3.

Matt Waxman
Matt Waxman open-shoved from middle position for 350,000 and it folded to Matthew Smith in the small blind. He raised a stack of blacks to get heads-up.
Smith: Waxman:
A tough spot for Waxman and his king was dominated. The board ran out and the WSOP bracelet winner/WSOPC ring champ was sent out in 19th place.

Hunter Cichy
Matt Waxman limped in early position and Zach Donovan followed that up with a shove from the small blind. Hunter Cichy called all in for less from the big and Waxman folded.
Donovan: Cichy:
They were off to the races but Cichy could not pair his overs on the flop. He picked up a flush draw on the turn but went out in 19th place after the river.
One more knock out will trigger the two-table redraw.
Zach Donovan – 2,600,000 (108 bb) Hunter Cichy – Eliminated in 20th place ($10,330)

Stephen Karp three-bet shipped for his last 360,000 after Jason Young opened. The rest of the table and Young called.
Karp: Young:
Karp was in a good shape to double up and the flop was clean. The turn added ten chop outs to the equation but it was the river that sent the pot to Young.
After a dip to his stack doubling up Chad Eveslage, Young is moving back to the top of the counts.
