The Stage is Set For a Thrilling Finale

Welcome back to the Amazon Room of the Rio Hotel and Casino for Day 3 of Event #37: $3,000 H.O.R.S.E. Our field is down to the last 25 competitors and what a stellar lineup we have!
Our chip leader is John Juanda who has displayed remarkable form at this year's WSOP, already with two fourths and one fifth place to his credit, all in mixed game variations. He'll be looking to add a fourth bracelet to his poker resume this evening, but boy, what a challenge it will be.
The name that stands out from all others is none other than the great Phil Ivey. The rail is guaranteed to be three and four deep today thanks to his presence. Can Ivey make it bracelet number eight? It will provide a thrilling conclusion later tonight if he gets close.
There are a plethora of other big name pros with credentials that have the potential to take them all the way, including David Benyamine, Bill Chen, Dan Heimiller, David Singer, Chad Brown, Scott Seiver and of course 2009 WSOP Player of the Year Jeff Lisandro.
This is going to be one hell of a final day!
All the action kicks off at 3pm local time, which is about 30 minutes from now. Keep your browser locked into PokerNews.com and frantically hit that refresh button as we will do our best to bring you every bit of excitement, live as it happens from the tournament floor.

Shuffle Up and Deal!
Cards are in the air. The starting game was drawn as razz.
One Hand, One Down
Razz
Hughes: 4-3 / A-7-6-J / 10
Trigeorgis: 6-3 / 2-A-6-8 / 8
George Trigeorgis brought back the shortest stack to start the day. On the very first hand, Ryan Hughes completed an ace. Trigeorgis squeezed out 6-3-2 and called all in. Hughes had 4-3-A and the race was on. Hughes made a 7-6 by fifth street, leaving Trigeorgis drawing. He didn't get there and has been eliminated in 25th place.

Johns Doubles
Stud
The second-shortest stack to start the day was Mark Johns. He got it all in on third street against Bill Chen. Chen started with three diamonds, but didn't improve to anything more than a pair of deuces. That was no good against Johns' buried aces, which made trip aces on sixth street.
Johns now has 60,000 chips.
Full House for Aldridge
Stud
We caught the action in this hand on sixth street. Kenneth Aldridge was showing X-X 
and Phil Ivey was showing X-X 
.
Aldridge check-raised Ivey's bet sending Ivey in the tank. Eventually Ivey folded and Aldridge flashed 
for a full house.
Ivey has dropped to 125,000 and Aldridge moved up to 300,000.
Seiver Doubles Through Wheeler
Stud
David Baker completed and Scott Seiver raised. Brent Wheeler re-raised and both opponents made the call.
On fourth, Seiver checked to Wheeler who fired a bet. Both Baker and Seiver made the call to go to fifth street. Seiver paired up but so did Wheeler to take the lead and he came out betting. Baker had seen enough but Seiver made the call.
On sixth street, Wheeler double-paired his board and he bet out, but Seiver raised to put his last chips into the middle. Wheeler made the call.
Baker: (X-X) / 
Seiver: (
) / 
/ (
)
Wheeler: (
) / 
/ (
)
Seiver made kings up which was good for the double up as Wheeler showed down three pair. Seiver doubles to 160,000 with Wheeler down to 180,000.
