The final seven players are on a scheduled 15-minute break and below are the updated counts as well as the respective big blinds when the action resumes.
| Seat | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | James Tedrow | United States | 1,895,000 | 19 |
| 2 | Maxwell Young | United States | 6,450,000 | 65 |
| 4 | Andrew Porter | United States | 570,000 | 6 |
| 5 | Carlos Chadha Villamarin | United States | 6,470,000 | 65 |
| 7 | Russ Dunlevy | United States | 1,450,000 | 15 |
| 8 | Nicholas Verderamo | United States | 3,670,000 | 37 |
| 9 | Michael Renna | United States | 2,030,000 | 20 |
Russ Dunlevy raised to 260,000 on the button before Michael Renna moved all in from the big blind.
"Ah, man, what a loser," Dunlevy muttered to himself as he went deep into the tank while considering the decision for his last 1,250,000. "Ah, f**k it," he eventually said as he tossed 7♥7♣ into the muck.
"Good fold," Renna told him while taking in the pot with J♠J♥.
Nicholas Verderamo raised to 160,000 from under the gun with the K♠10♣ and was called by Carlos Chadha in the small blind holding the 4♠4♣, Russ Dunlevy in the big blind also called with A♣5♠.
The A♠K♦10♠ flop was checked to Verderamo and he bet 200,000 into 560,000. Chadha quickly folded whereas Dunlevy used one of his time bank extensions while chatting with his table neighbour.
Both took off their shades for a second before putting them back on.
Dunlevy then called which led them to the J♠ on the turn, which he checked. Verderamo checked it back and the 4♥ followed on the river.
Both players checked and Verderamo won the pot.
Ricky Guan raised to 355,000 in the hijack before James Tedrow moved all in from the big blind. Guan called for 710,000.
Ricky Guan: K♥Q♥
James Tedrow: A♠K♠
Guan was dominated and needed hearts or other magic to stay in contention.
However, the 8♠6♠5♠ flop left him instantly drawing dead to make the J♦ turn and Q♣ river meaningless.
With the exit of Guan in 8th place for $28,160, the conclusion of Day 3 is only one further elimination away.
Nicholas Verderamo limped in with 6♦5♠ from the small blind and Michael Renna checked back holding 9♣7♦.
Verderamo checked to Renna on the Q♣10♦5♦ flop, and he bet 80,000. Verderamo called and checked again on the 5♣ turn, and Renna bet another 400,000. Verderamo called once more.
The river was the 3♥ and Verderamo led out for 400,000 with trips. Renna folded, and Verderamo took the pot.
Maxwell Young raised to 175,000 in early position, Mike Dentale moved all in for 700,000 in middle position, and Young called.
Mike Dentale: A♠Q♥
Maxwell Young: 3♦3♥
The classic flip for the tournament life of Dentale gave him more outs on the 9♦9♠8♥ flop and 10♦ turn with the gutshot and counterfit outs. However, none of them came on the K♦ river and that spelled the end for Dentale in 9th place for $22,945.
Nicholas Verderamo raised to 160,000 with the A♥8♣ in the hijack and James Tedrow on the button checked his stack holding the K♠Q♠.
Tedrow then jammed for 1,245,000 and it folded to Mike Dentale in the big blind who called all-in for 400,000 with the K♣Q♥.
Verderamo folded and both showed their king-queen.
There was no upset on the J♠9♥8♠2♣9♦ board despite the two spades on the flop and Dentale survived.
Mike Dentale raised to 160,000 under the gun and Maxwell Young called in the big blind after picking up A♦A♣.
Both players checked the 7♦9♠10♠ flop. Young then bet 235,000 on the 2♣ turn, and Dentale called.
Young bet another 400,000 on the Q♠ river, and Dentale folded 6♥6♣.
