Bokkie played a hand against Jeff Shulman who is on his left.
He 3-bet KK, Shulman called
Flop K T 6 ♠:s Bokkie c-bet, Shulman called
Turn Q check check
River A Bokkie bets 1/4 pot and Shulman jams all in for just over the pot ~9k, Bokkie folds.
Shulman had QJs
MarkusOwnH lost a 10k pot when he went all in with AA on a J 6 2 flop. villain had KJ and hit the K on the turn.
LeChiffre19 lost a big 30k pot in a 3-way flop. villain went all in on 8:c T:d 6:d, one fold and LeChiffre19 called with K:d Q:d, villain had AA and LeChiffre19 was crippled.
akia was also playing on the same table and he has been knocked out after losing AK vs AA. "We're getting raped here" refering to himself and LeChiffre19.
"Good rape" said Jeff Madsen who is also on the same table.
I saw MikaPaasonen take down a nice pot against an old guy.
On a flop of A:h K:h 8:h Mika had put in a bet of 1.4k, villain made it 5.2k with another 9k behind, Mika then goes all in for 13k total.
villain tank folded and Mika told me he had the nuts there with Q:h J:h
TwiceT is shortstacking now and doing his best to recall the SSS starting hand charts. He said his table is really solid, nobody is making mistakes and all the big pots are all coolers.
He also added that he has lost all the big pots he played today. Another player on his table has QQ+ 5 times and only got the blinds each time and showed his hand. Lucky but yet unlucky.
They are on dinner break, will get updated chip counts after that.
Here's just some info I have got.
Bokkie was up to 40k, dropped to 20+ after being caught bluffing but is now back at 35k
I saw him bluff the last hand before the dinner break:
Bokkie UTG raised KJ, BB called
Flop 8:s 3:h 7:h villain donks, Bokkie raises, and villain calls
Turn 8:d villain bets 2k, Bokkie makes it 4.9k, villain tanks and folds.
Tsubi went busto when he 6-bet shipped 77 for 80bb and villain had KK
He had some history with villain where he had pushed villain off some hands a few times before because he thought he had picked up some live tells from the guy. Unfortunately it didn't work this timw.
MikaPaasonen is also busto, and was sent to the rails by the same old guy he went all in on earlier.
villain opened 700, Mika makde it 1,700 with Q4s, villain called
Flop Q 9 7:h:h check, Mika bets 1,500, villain calls
Turn 4:h check, Mika bets 4k, villain goes all in for 16k, Mika calls and villain shows 3 3:h
villain rivers another heart to win the hand

Nazgul is still running pretty bad here. His opponent (an old guy) managed to win the pot by making a flush in two hands vs Nazgul, when Nazgul flopped a set.
Bokkie was down to 13k, and he bluffed his way back into contention before almost doubling up with A A in the SB. He managed to get 3 streets of value from his opponent.
After that, he made won another nice pot after turning top set vs an older opponent.
UTG raised, UTG+2 3-bet (old guy), Bokkie called because he didn't want to 4-bet a cold 3-betting old guy, the original raiser also called.
Flop T 8 2 ♦ 
The old guy bets 6k, Bokkie called and the other player folded. He was planning on folding the turn now because if the old guy bet twice he usually has it.
Turn Q gin card for Bokkie and it got even better when the old guy just went all in for 20k, Bokkie snap called and the old guy had KK
Finally, I also saw Maethi play a hand vs Men Nguyen, I only saw the action from the flop of 6:h 9:c 8:c. It was 3 way, one player checked, Maethi bet and Nguyen called in BU, the other player folded.
Turn 2:c check check
River 5:d check, Nguyen bets 3k and Maethi folds.
Men Nguyen announced :"I flopped a straight" and showed 5:c 7:c. He actually also had a straight flush draw and made the flush on the turn.
BongBob busted out, AQ vs AJ all in preflop.
The board ran out T T 6 J J to give villain the full house.
BongBob seemed a little tilted after that. He told me that, psychobenny said that (in German) "If I run like you (BongBob) I would be broke already." Since I don't speak German, I have no way to verify if that's what he really said.
BTW, he also told me to add that, he thinks Chris Moorman, ElkY, Jason Mercier and Benny Spindler (psychobenny) are the poker players that run the hottest in the world.
Will give you the end of day chip counts in the next update, they are already finishing up in less than an hour.

Bokkie busted with 30bb in his last hand, BU opened, SB 3-bet, Bokkie 4-bet shipped 22 from BB and AB called with AA
lehuckpoker had a sick rollercoaster. He was down to 900 chips after calling two all ins, but doubled his way back to 19k now.
In the first hand, MP min raised, Daniel Idema called, lechuckpoker with 87k called in BU with K:h T
Flop T:h 8:d 5:h check check, lechuckpoker bets 5.5k, MP folds, Idema makes it 13k, lechuckpoker makes it 22.5k, Idema goes all in for 57k and lechuckpoker calls, Idema shows T:d 9:d
Turn 9 and river bricked.
In the next hand, Sam Stein opened, lechuckpoker called in CO with K:c T:c with 38k in his stack.
Flop Q:c J 6 Stein c-bets, 3.6k, lechuckpoker makes it 9.3k, Stein goes all in and for 20k more and lechuckpoker snap calls. Stein shows Q 9
Turn Q River K
He was down to 900 chips after that, and doubled up with KK making a set, and then making a set again with 99, and finally he on A7 vs AQ where he made quads.

don't have much for you here since I'm trying to follow most of the action in the $1.5k Day 3.
Maethi went busto, he lost two big hands, AJ vs 88 and then was all in for his last 30k. He had the smallest guns in the 3-way fight with 99 vs JJ vs AK and obviously lost the fight.
90 left here, we're close to the money now.
blinds 1.5k/3k/500
Nazgul 90k
dahussstla 45k
TravisHC 102k
lechuckpoker and eleph seem to have gone busto.
Nazgul had a pretty nice run since my last update, he doubled up twice, once with AQ vs 77 and then with QQ vs AK
the dealer made him sweat in the second hand when the board came K Q 9 x K and villain had the nut flush draw on the turn too.
ITM!
Nazgul and TravisHC both made the money, but dahustsssla busted before it. TravisHC has also busted since then for a min cash.
BU raised, TravisHC was down to a short shoving stack, shoved in the BB and BU called.
K:d J:d vs K:c Q:c no excitement on the board and the better hand won it.
Nazgul meanwhile is still in with 73 players left but is pretty short with just 60k.
The blinds are 2k/4k/500
"After sitting here for two days, I have four times starting stack"
Nazgul just went busto in 67th place.
He shoved 11bb from BU.
K3o < A4
He won $10,790
