Break
Upon moving back over to Green 152, the players continued to voice their complaints and the tournament staff asked the players if they would rather take their 20-minute break now. The players all said that they rather would and the staff promised to have Jack Effel at the table when they return so the situation can be discussed further.

Um... Whoops
Jack Effel just sent word to our floor supervisor that some work needs to be done on the secondary feature table. As a result we will be moving *back* to Green 152. The players are not happy at all. The floor has promised to summon Jack Effel to the final table so that the players can voice their complaints.

Thomas Applegate - 11th PlaceThomas Applegate Eliminated in 11th Place ($33,281)
We thought the dealer had stopped dealing during today's WSOP gold bracelet ceremony. It turned out that wasn't the case. So we barely got to the table in time to see the elimination of Thomas Applegate. He was all in with
against the running-great-today Michael Katz, who showed 
. Neither player connected with the 
board. Applegate was therefore eliminated in 11th place.
The last ten players are now racking up their chips to move to the secondary feature table. We'll have a re-draw when they get there. -

DeWitt Takes One With Little Action
Jason DeWitt raised to 36,000 from the button and was called by both blinds. William Erickson was in the small blind and Benjamin Gilbert was in the big blind.
The flop came down
and everyone checked. The turn brought the 
and everyone checked again. The river was the 
and again, everyone checked.
DeWitt tabled
and both his opponents mucked. -

Eric "Rizen" Lynch - 12th PlaceEric "Rizen" Lynch Eliminated in 12th Place ($33,281)
Eric "Rizen" Lynch raised from the cutoff before Benjamin Gilbert moved all in from the button. Lynch made the call and would be at risk. Gilbert held pocket queens and really had Lynch on the ropes as he only held pocket nines. After the board ran out
, Lynch was sent packing in 12th place for over $30,000.
After we lose one more player in the tournament, the players will relocate over to the secondary feature table to continue the event. -

Alex Millar - 13th PlaceAlex Millar Eliminated in 13th Place ($24,725)
Alex Millar very succinctly summed up his Day 3 with the board showing
.
"I don't run good today."
Millar had re-raised to 125,000 from the small blind after Michael Katz opened for 39,000. Katz moved all in with 
and Millar called with 
. The fateful queen on the flop was indicative of a day gone horribly wrong for the man who started second in chips.
"Eight one time," he requested with a hint of desperation. He didn't get it. The
river completed Millar's stunning collapse. He leaves in 13th palce with $24,725. -

Katz a Little Steamed
Michael Katz thought he was in the big blind and put out 16,000 chips before the deal. He then stood up from his seat and took a few steps away from the table momentarily. When he came back, the cards were dealt and he realized he was under-the-gun. He tried to take his chips back but the dealer wouldn't allow it. A floor was summoned who made the same ruling.
Action folded to Michael Noda. He raised to 45,000, folding both blinds. Katz peeked at his cards, stewed a bit and then folded in disgust. -
