With the board reading 
and over 300,000 in the middle, Chris Moneymaker led out for 275,000-chip bet against his opponent Wesley Wiemes. Wiemes went into the tank for a bit before eventually calling, and quickly mucked when 2003 WSOP Main Event champion tabled 
for the nut flush.
Wiemes dropped to 452,000 chips while Moneymaker increased his stack to 1.76 million.
William Givens moved all in for 233,000 with 
and was called by the 
of Mike Sowers. It was yet another race as the flop fell 
. Sowers was still ahead with his sixes but Givens picked up a straight draw.
When the 
hit the turn, Givens was left with a plethora of outs. He could hit a jack, seven, ace, ten, nine, or any club to win. The 
on the river was one such card and Givens survived, doubling to around 500,000 in the process.
With 49 players remaining there were five seven-handed tables, one eight-handed table and one six-handed table. We're not too sure why.
On the only eight-handed table Greg Debora moved all in for his last 214,000 from under the gun and the action folded all the way to Wesley Wiemes in the big blind. He tank-called for nearly half his stack and the hands were tabled.
Debora: 
Wiemes: 
The 
flop didn't hit Wiemes directly, but he added three more outs to a seven which would counterfeit Debora's small pair. The dealer wrapped the table, burned a card and delivered a harmless 
on the turn.
With all eyes on the table and everyone standing, the dealer wrapped the table one more time, burned the last card and spiked the on the river giving Wiemes a winning pair of eights and eliminating Debora from the tournament.
Wiemes is now up to 689,000 chips and with the field down to 48 runners we are now done for the evening.

The 2011 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure Main Event continued today with 173 with the intention of playing six levels or down to 48 players, whichever came first. As fate would have it, the field reduced itself before the clock ran out and ended in the latter stage of Level 22.
Adam Geyer began the day as the chip leader and put his big stack to good use. He was one of the final 48 players, although he ended the day with just 435,000. A few others who will be joining him on Day 4 include PokerStars Team Pro (USA) member and 2003 World Series of Poker Main Event Champion Chris Moneymaker (1.636 million), Max Lehmanski (2.32 million), Mike Sowers (1.36 million), Dmitriy Stelmak (1.303 million), Ilan Rouah (1.343 million), Sam Stein (970,000), Eddy Sabat (918,000) and the Day 3 chipleader, Chris Oliver (3.675 million).
While some players thrived, many failed to survive. Among those who fell during Day 3 action were former November Niner Eric Buchman, David "Doc" Sands, Dwyte Pilgrim, Faraz Jaka, and Team PokerStars Pros Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, Victor Ramdin, JP Kelly, and Pieter de Korver.
Tomorrow the remaining players will return to reduce their number by half and determine the top 24. Action is set to resume at 12 P.M. EST here at the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island in the Bahamas. Join the PokerNews Live Reporting Team then for all the latest action and eliminations.
