The third and final day of the World Series of Poker Circuit Harrah's Tunica Main Event is upon us and 16 players return to fiight for the gold ring, a seat in the National Championship and $192,984. Dan Blakeman returns as the chipleader with only a 50,000 chip lead over Houston White.
Kurt Jewell is looking for redemption after finishing 8th in this event last year. Jewell brought a commanding chiplead into the final table last year, but luck wasn't on his side. His hands were cracked or outflopped in an almost cruel opening levels of the final table.
Jacob Bazeley will also be looking for his first title, he took 2nd place in the WSOPC Southern Indiana Main Event earlier this season. Bazeley was snakebitten when he got to heads up play with Robert Castoire. Bazeley had a four-to-one chiplead over Castoire and got it in good four times only to have Castoire hit the flops better than he.
Action will kick off promptly at noon and we're going to play until we crown a winner. Follow all the WSOPC action live on Pokernews.com

Cards are in the air for the final day of play.
Early Double for Chew
Todd Chew got all in preflop holding 
and was in bad shape against the 
of Dustin Gardner. Much to the former's delight, and the latter's dismay, the 
flop gave the underdog the lead. Neither the 
turn nor 
river changed a thing, and Chew doubled within the first 15 minutes of the day.

Michael "Carwash" Schneider Eliminated in 16th Place ($9,734)
Action folded to the short-stacked Michael "Carwash" Schneider in the cutoff and he moved all in for 101,000. Frank Mull was next to act on the button and made the call, while both blinds got out of the way.
Showdown
| Mull |  |
| Carwash |   |
It was a classic flip, but things looked as if they'd come down in Carwash's favor as neither the 
flop nor 
turn helped Mull. However, there was still one card to come and wouldn't you know it, the 
spiked to give Mull the win. Carwash was eliminated from the Main Event in 16th place.

Bazeley Gets Lucky to Take Over Chip Lead
Action folded to Houston White in the cutoff and he brought it in for a raise to 35,000. Jacob Bazeley was next to act on the button and he three-bet to 110,000. The blinds got out of the way and White pushed back with a four-bet, making it 200,000 more to go. Bazeley pondered for a bit before announcing all in for about 650,000 more. White made the call, and at first, he was glad he did.
Showdown
| Bazeley |  |
| White |   |
White was primed to take down a monster pot, but the 
flop had other plans as it delivered Bazeley two pair. White stood from his chair in disbelief and watched helplessly as the 
fell on the turn followed by the river. Bazeley remained stoic as he raked in the nearly 2-million chip pot.
