Yachatz

Take the middle matzah and break it into two, one piece larger than the other. 

The larger piece is set aside to serve as Afikoman.The  smaller piece is put back, between the two matzot. This smaller piece, along with the top matzah is what will be used for the “Motzi-Matzah” and “Korech”

The matzot resemble the 3 parts of our nation: kohen, levi, israel. We break the middle matzah and hide it to show that the real reward for our Torah and mitzvot will be in the world to come. The small matzvah represents the benefit of our mitzvot that we can see in this world in our lifetime.
