Day 3 - There Can Be Only One!
![[user135779]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
The PokerNews Live Reporting Team are back, armed to the teeth with pens, notepads and buckets of Starbucks coffee in preparation for another exciting day of six-handed PLO action!
From 507 of the world's finest, we're down to just 15, with the leader of the pack none other than Gregory Brooks, who has already had one small cash in this year's WSOP, but that's not the reason why he's so well-known. Perhaps it's something to do with that WPT L.A. Poker Classic title that he won back in February for over $1.6 million. Just sayin'.
In any case, there are still sharks swarming in this field, including David Chiu and Michael McDonald, who are the other two chip leaders, plus Chris Moorman, Jason Mercier ... heck, probably errbody out there. You don't have to come and confess, we've already found you!
So you can run and tell that PokerNews are now on standby for the start of Day 3 of WSOP Event #35 at 2.30pm PST (GMT -7). Homeboy.

If You Want a Chance, You Need Some Chips
Level 21
: 6,000/12,000, 0 ante
In the first hand over at Table 377, David "Devilfish" Ulliott raise under the gun and took down the pot. In the second hand, Jason Mercier raised to 24,000 on the button only to have the Devilfish reraise 54,000 more from the big blind. Mercier thought for a moment before releasing the hand. "Did you have a good hand," Mercier asked.
"Yeah," replied the Devilfish. "I've been playing this game too long to know that if you ain't got no chips, you haven't got a chance."
Shawn Bennani Eliminated in 15th Place ($23,519)
From under the gun, David Chiu raised to 32,000 and the action folded around to Joseph Ressler, who called from the button. Michael McDonald folded his small blind, but Shawn Bennani re-potted it from the big blind, making it 134,000 to go.
Chiu raised, forcing Ressler out of the way and Bennani slapped the rest of his chips into the middle before the cards were tabled:
Chiu: 
Bennani: 
The board was spread 
and Bennani was sent to the rail in 15th place to collect $23,519, while Chiu was left to stack up his newly-acquired chips. His stack is now worth more than 1,020,000.

More Aggression from Devilfish
Jason Mercier raised to 24,000 under the gun and received calls from David "Devilfish" Ulliott on the button and Peter Jetten in the big blind. Action checked to Ulliott on the 
flop and he put out a bet of 30,000. Jetten wasted little time in making the call while Mercier got out of the way.
Both players checked the 
turn, which was followed by a Jetten check on the river. The Devilfish took the opportunity to bet 63,000, which was enough to push Jetten off his hand.

Chiu Takes A Big One From McDonald
Mike "timex" McDonald raised it up to 28,000 from the cutoff and David Chiu made the call from the small blind.
The flop came 
and Chiu checked to McDonald who bet 45,000. Chiu called.
The turn was the and again Chiu checked to McDonald who bet 115,000. Chiu again called.
The river came and this Chiu one last time checked over to McDonald who this time bet 230,000. Chiu instantly made the call and showed 
for a flopped set of sevens and a rivered set of aces. McDonald showed 
for just a pair of nines.
McDonald fell to just 420,000 after the hand and Chiu is now our chip leader with 1,200,000
