Mike Takayama departs in third place, in a fancy way, with another massive three-way pot. The tournament had just started after the break, and Takayama announced all in from the button, for approximately 2.8 million in chips. Florencio Campomanes called from the small blind, and Thijs Hilberts announced his call, to send the pot to almost eight figures.

The flop came {7-Clubs}{10-Spades}{5-Clubs}, and there were two players playing for a side pot now, while Takayama was standing up in front of his seat, waiting patiently for the time that they will open their cards and see where he is with his hand.

The flop followed by two quick checks, and the {8-Clubs} came on the river. This card brought some action, as Campomanes bet 600,000 and Hilberts called to create a 1.2 million side pot.

The {8-Spades} on the river completed the board, and this time Campomanes put out a 2 million-chip bet, in which Hilberts fold. Campomanes took the 1.2 million side pot, and he opened his cards along with Takayama, to determine who will win the side pot. Campomanes hand was very strong, with {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for the nut flush, while Takayama had only a {k-Clubs}{q-Spades} to show, with just king-high.

Takayama is eliminated, while Campomanes won a big pot, and will start the heads-up confrontation with a substantial lead.

The heads-up is getting prepared, and play will continue in five minutes.
