Dylan Foster Eliminated in 46th Place by Amin Riyazati ($12,200)
The second short stack in a row exits from table three. First to go is Amit Kaushik after a torrid second level and Dylan Foster then hits the rail against fellow Aussie Amin Riyazati, who currently leads the Player of the Festival ranking as well.
Foster jams for 105,000 and Riyazati in the big blind has not looked at his cards yet. He peels the first one, which is the K♠ and says "the first one is good". The second card is, too, as it's the K♦ .
Foster has a mountain to climb with J♦ T♦ and Riyazati flops a full house on the A♥ A♠ K♥ 9♦ 4♣ board.
"This is the last thing I want," Riyazati sighs before both embrace and part ways.

Amit Kaushik Takes Another Hit

With the turn showing Q♦ 9♠ 8♠ 6♥ Sungmin Cho bets 75,000 and Amit Kaushik calls in the next seat. They are heading to the J♥ river on which Cho lets his shot clock run to almost zero before he announces a bet of 250,000. He first pushes forward two full stacks of T-5,000, another nine chips of the same denomination and then adds five yellow T-1,000 chips.
Kaushik uses two time banks and eventually calls, but quickly mucks when Cho tables J♦ T♦ for the flopped queen-high straight.

Yakiv Syzghanov Raises Out James Rann

Sungmin Cho opens to 8,000 and Yakiv Syzghanov calls in the cutoff. James Rann three-bets to 28,000 and Cho folds, while Syzghanov calls. On the A♠ 8♣ 7♥ flop, Syzghanov checks and Rann continues for 18,000. The check-raise to 42,000 follows and that ends the hand right there.
