Sunny Patel Hopes To Continue To Shine On Day 3
Welcome back for Day 3 of Event #14: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em here at the 2013 World Series of Poker. With just 14 players left from the original 1,819 that began, today will be the culmination of a great event and the crowning of another gold bracelet winner.
Leading the way is Hiren "Sunny" Patel with 1.51 million in chips. The only other player joining him in the seven-figure club is Jonathan Taylor with 1.222 million. Another notables still remaining are Russell Crane, Blake Bohn and Chris Hunichen.
Each of the remaining 14 competitors is guaranteed $20,504 at minimum, but every single one of these players will be gunning for the big, bad $454,424 first-place prize that's up for grabs. Once play gets down to a 10-handed affair, the players will combine at one table.
The cards are set to be in the air at 1 p.m. local time in Las Vegas, so get ready for some action!

Delayed Start
Last night, there was some confusion in relayed information from the tournament staff to the players about the start time for Day 3. The confusion was between 1 p.m. or 2 p.m. While the start time was scheduled for 1 p.m., the tournament staff is now trying to contact a couple of the missing players who may have been told incorrect information and are not here yet.
Normally, it is the players' responsibility to know the start time for their events, but when misinformed, the tournament staff will do what it can to rectify the situation, which means delaying the start and getting a hold of the absent players. The cards should be in the air shortly.

Bohn Repsenting PokerNews MSPT Deep in Event No. 14
Level 22
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
One of the players deep in this event is Blake Bohn, winner of the 2013 Chicago Poker Classic Main Event for $288,171. Just last month, Bohn was announced as the first member of the PokerNews Mid-States Poker Tour Pro Team.
Born in Savage, Minnesota, Bohn began his professional poker playing career in 2004 focusing primarily on high-limit hold’em cash games while sprinkling in an occasional tournament. After some modest tournament success, Bohn made a commitment in 2010 to put more time and effort into no-limit hold’em tournaments, which included playing, traveling and studying more. Since then, Bohn has been doing very well on the felt, amassing six titles and over $660,000 in tournament earnings over the last three years.
In the summer of 2011, Bohn ran deep in the World Series of Poker Main Event, placing 126th of 6,865 entrants for $54,851. In total, Bohn has nearly $750 in lifetime earnings, 39 cashes and six titles. Just a week ago, Bohn took 196th in the 2013 WSOP "Millionaire Maker" event for $6,165.

On the other table, Table 446, Joseph Pergola moved all in on the first hand, but received no callers, then Tommy Vu shoved all in on the second hand, but also received no callers.
Three-Bet from Bohn

From the hijack seat, Dan Gannon opened to 35,000 before action folded over to Blake Bohn in the small blind.

Bohn then three-bet to 93,000 and took down the pot.
