DeWitt is poised and ready to go for the gold
We're almost there, we've almost reached the end of Event No. 52, $3,000 Triple Chance No-Limit Hold'em, but not quite yet. There's still one more day of play, the final day, and most important day.
Sixteen players remain for play that is schedule to commence at 1:00 PM local time. Jason DeWitt has a sizable chip lead on the field holding over half a million more than his next closest competitor. DeWitt has over 1.5 million chips and only Alex Millar is also over one million. Jason "JCarver" Somerville, An "The Boss" Tran, and Eric "Rizen" Lynch remain as well.
We're just under an hour away from the start of play, so be sure to check back shortly for all of the updates live from PokerNews!

Vladimir Kochelaevskiy has moved in a few times already today. He moved in again, for 172,000 total, after Alex Millar opened for 30,000. Millar got an exact count before saying, "Alright. Call." His was ahead of Kochelaevskiy's , but Kochelaevskiy paired tens on a board of to win the pot, much to the delight of a few railbirds who are flapping a Russian flag.

Usually, after a long Day 2, play is wide open at the start of Day 3. That's not the case today. The last five hands at Green 153 have either been raise-it-and-take-it preflop, or raise-reraise-and-take-it. The players don't seem much interested in playing after the flop right now.

Jason "JCarver" Somerville raised to 30,000 from under the gun a few hands prior to this hand, where he opened for 28,000 again from the button. Maybe Jason DeWitt picked up something based on bet sizing, or maybe he just felt Somerville has been opening too many buttons (this is the second one we have seen already), but he decided to shove over the top of Somerville.
Somerville had the pressure back on him with 260,000 chips left in his stack. He took some time and then mucked his hand, allowing DeWitt to take the pot in preflop action.

Jorg Peisert
If Alex Millar had a plan to try to control his table today with raises and reraises, it's not working out. It doesn't help to run into aces. Millar reraised from the small blind to 110,000 after Jorg Peisert opened for 30,000. Peisert then announced he was all in and Millar called.

Peisert's aces held on a board of . Peisert got out of his chair, shouted "YES!", walked a few paces, and then shouted "YES!!" two more times. The third shout prompted An Tran to shout "NO!" from the neighboring table. It also provoked a discussion between Max Greenwood and Jason Somerville, who remarked that they thought it was poor from Peisert and how yesterday Peisert had shown little class each time he won a hand.
Peisert's stack was counted down at 439,000. With the double-up he's at about 900,000.
