Welcome back to the Rio All Suites Hotel and Casino for day three of Event 33: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em. This event started two days ago with 2,795 people shelling out $1,000 each. Today only 14 players remain. We will play down to one, and that person will be awarded the golden bracelet along with $440,238.
Vitaly Meshcheriakov comes in today with the chip lead, possessing 946,000. Will that be enough to get to the final table for Meshcheriakov? Another player in the field is Matt Stout returns today with 462,000, a little below average. Stout looks to turn things around and put himself in position to come out on top today.

Battle of the Bigs
Max Steinberg can't seem to avoid a pot and why should he, every pot he plays he seems to win. recently we caught him raising it up to 35,000 from the cut-off. Joseph Marzicola made the call from the button, as did Matt Stout from the small blind.
The flop came 
prompting a check from Sout. Steinberg wasn't going to allow any checks and bet out 50,000. Marzicola raised and made it 150,000. Stout folded and Steinberg made the call.
The 
on the turn slowed Steinberg down and he checked. Marzicola however bet out, making it 250,000. Steinberg made the call and both players were witness to the on the river. Both players thought enough betting had taken place and they knuckled for checks.
Marzicola flipped over for top two pair and that was enough to take it down.
