Starting Shortly

Welcome back to Day 3 and the final table! ESPN has taken a little holiday today so there will be no televising or anything like that to get in the way of the high-speed limit action.

Marc Naalden is our chip leader and has been since halfway through play last night. He'll be hoping to become only the second Dutchman ever to win a bracelet; but to be honest, it's still anyone's game.

No players yet, just a couple dealers arguing about the correct way to fan a deck, but we're scheduled to start at 2pm. See you then.

Level: 20

Pumpkin! Pumpkin!

Jameson Painter's three incredibly dedicated friends from last night are back today to rail him -- and today they've made a banner!

Bless their hearts, they've constructed a sign with the legend "PUMPKIN PATCH" on it and a little picture of Mr Painter; they're waving it around and politely calling out, "Pumpkin!" at every available opportunity. Totally heartwarming.

Second Blood Too

Once again Marc Naalden raised, but this time Tommy Hang reraised from the cutoff. Naalden called.

Flop: {K-Spades} {2-Clubs} {5-Clubs}

Naalden checked, and then raised a bet from Hang. Call. Hang just check-called the {J-Spades} turn and also the {3-Spades} river -- and then mucked when Naalden turned over {A-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} for a straight.

Hang down to 115,000.

Hang Tough

Hangin' in there
Hangin' in there
Tommy Hang got a few of his chips back after his pocket {6-Spades} {6-Diamonds} stayed good on an {8-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {K-Spades} {A-Clubs} {5-Clubs} board. Marc Naalden turned over {10-Spades} {5-Spades} for a flush draw that had made a smaller pair than Hang's on the river.
