Day 3 of Event #26: $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) at Bally's and Paris Las Vegas has wrapped up after over 11 hours of play with only two players remaining. Kyle Dilschneider and Jonathan Cohen, who are both after their first bracelets, agreed to end play for the day and will return on Wednesday, June 15 at 3 p.m. PDT to finish the tournament.

The two battled heads-up on Day 3 for more than two hours, and by the end of it, Dilschneider had a slight chip lead over Cohen with a stack of 3,000,000 compared to the 2,500,000 of Cohen.

The day began with nine hopefuls and slowly dwindled down, with David Litt being the first to go in a cooler where his trips were no good against the straight of Joey Couden, who himself later bowed out in fifth place.

Day 2 chip leader Chad Eveslage bowed out in fifth in brutal fashion when he made a full house only to be counterfeited by quads on the board to lose to the ace-high of Cohen.

Matthew Schreiber was down to just a few big bets during six-handed play but managed to run up his stack and ladder to third place, falling when he got it in with middle pair to be drawing thin against the two pair of Cohen.

Dilschneider is after his first big tournament score, while Cohen has his eyes dead-set on the bracelet after being denied one when he finished runner-up in Event #14: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Shootout at the 2012 WSOP for $192,559.

The PokerNews live reporting team will be back on June 15 to see the heads-up battle play out.

Matthew Gonzales Eliminated in 4th Place ($78,435)

Level 21 : 20,000/40,000, 0 ante
Matthew Gonzales
Matthew Gonzales

After losing a big portion of his stack in a pot against Kyle Dilschneider, Matthew Gonzales opened from under the gun and was called by Matthew Schreiber in the big blind.

Schreiber checked on the flop of {8-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{6-Spades} and called a bet from Gonzales. Schreiber then check-raised on the {5-Diamonds} turn and Gonzales re-raised in turn. Schreiber called.

Schreiber checked on the {q-Clubs} river and snap-called a bet from Gonzales, who tabled an overpair with {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}. It was no good against the flopped two pair of Gonzales with {j-Hearts}{8-Spades}.

Gonzales was left with crumbs and was forced in from the big blind the next hand in a heads-up pot against Kyle Dilschneider.

Matthew Gonzales: {q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Kyle Dilschneider: {a-Spades}{8-Spades}

The flop of {2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades} didn't help Gonzales but he picked up a pair on the {5-Diamonds} turn. But the {4-Diamonds} on the river gave Dilschneider a straight and Gonzales was eliminated in fourth place after running cold since returning from the dinner break.

Chad Eveslage
Chad Eveslage

Jonathan Cohen opened in middle position and Chad Eveslage three-bet from the small blind. Cohen called.

Eveslage moved all-in on the {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}{j-Clubs} flop and Cohen called.

Chad Eveslage: {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}
Jonathan Cohen: {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

Eveslage was far in front with sevens and nines and improved to a full house on the {9-Clubs} turn. However, the river brought the case {9-Diamonds} to put quads on the board for Cohen to take the pot down with his ace kicker.

The sickening runout brought gasps from the table as the Day 2 chip leader exited the final table in sixth place.

Amir Shayesteh opened in middle position and saw a flop against Kyle Dilschneider in the small blind and Chad Eveslage in the big blind.

Shayesteh bet when checked to on the flop of {9-Spades}{7-Spades}{7-Clubs} and both opponents called. All three players then checked on the {3-Clubs} turn.

Dilschneider led out on the {j-} river and Eveslage raised, leading Shayesteh to fold with less than one big bet behind. Dilschneider called and showed {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts} to win the pot.

A few hands later, Eveslage opened and Shayesteh called off in the big blind.

Amir Shayesteh: {j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}
Chad Eveslage: {a-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}

The flop came {7-Spades}{3-Clubs}{a-Clubs} to give both players pairs, but the {a-Hearts} on the turn left Shayesteh drawing dead headed to the {6-Clubs} river to send him out in eighth place for $27,269.
