Day 3 Concludes, Final Table Set
David Peters
It's the Fourth of July. And there were indeed fireworks here on Day 3 of the last of the open-field, $1,000 buy-in no-limit hold'em events.
We began with 47 players returning from a starting field of 3,844, among them 2010 WSOP bracelet winner Jesse Rockowitz and Alex Jacob. Both of them would join the group hitting the rail today, as we once again saw the field rapidly shrink.
Dustin Dorrance-Bowman emerged as a leader as we got down to 15 players. Then Marcel Vonk moved forward to take the advantage. Then Henrik Tollefsen scored a huge double-up versus Dorrance-Bowman that helped propel him into the chip lead as we got down to 10 players.
Finally David Peters used pocket aces to eliminate Johnny Kitchens in 10th place, and our final nine was set. That hand put Peters in the chip lead entering tomorrow's final day of play, with Vonk and Tollefsen not too far behind.
As you check in on all of the Day 1a Main Event coverage tomorrow, stop on by over here to see who of our final nine takes home this Event #54 bracelet and the $570,960 first prize. Coverage begins at 3 p.m. local time.

Tollefson Takes a Bunch Off Dorrance-Bowman
As that elimination was occurring over on Table 267, a big hand was developing on Table 262 between Henrik Tollefson and Dustin Dorrance-Bowman. Indeed, it appeared we might have reached our final nine before ever reseating at a single ten-handed table!
The hand began with Johnny Kitchens opening for 85,000, then Dorrance-Bowman called from the cutoff. It folded to Tollefson who announced he was all in for approximately 820,000 total. Kitchens got out, and Dorrance-Bowman took about five minutes to make his decision while players from the other table, waiting to move over, looked on.
Finally Dorrance-Bowman called, showing 
. Tollefson showed 
. The board came 
, and Tollefson scores a huge more-than-double-up as we move to the single ten-handed table.
