Since Day 2, Thomas Lind has seen his stack swing to highs and lows, and in Day 3 he survived the bubble on a flip to reach the money round.

Down to short stack, Lind shoved twice and got called by Cao Ngoc Anh. Cao dominated with A♠ J♣ over A♣ 8♣. No luck on the board to finish his run in 24th place for VN₫ 42,570,000.
