The first person to bust on Day 3 was also the unfortunate final table bubble boy. Tad Jurgens was all-in pre-draw against Raphael Zimmerman. Zimmerman drew twice and stood pat on the last draw. Zimmerman then revealed a 7-6 and Jurgens could not beat it. Tad Jurgen finished in 8th place.

Heads-up play began with Raphael Zimmerman up 1.39 Million to the 730,000 of Peter Gelencser. Gelencser then made a comeback off of the strength of making a number one to take down a huge pot.
