Some of those who have recently taken their seats in the field at the start of the third level include Josh Arieh, Vladimir Schmelev, Jason Mercier, Daniel Alaei, Doyle Brunson, John Hennigan, David "Bakes" Baker, Jeff Lisandro, Todd Brunson and the immortal Phil Ivey who has come to the table sporting a rather sizable cigar.
Stud
Joe Hachem hasn't wasted any time in getting busy as he collected a Stud pot against Bryan Micon. Both players checked fifth, before Micon led the betting on sixth, with Hachem firing the bet on seventh.
Micon was showing 
on board but he mucked on the river against Hachem's board of 
as Hachem showed three more spades in the hole for a well disguised flush.
The players are back on their saddles and away we go! The whispers in the hallways are that some late arrivals are expected from Chris Ferguson and Joe Hachem, while according to his twitter, Phil Hellmuth is expected to make a Hellmuthian arrival sometime soon.
Level: 3
Blinds: 75/150
Ante: 0
The players have started a little slowly, as to be expected in a limit H.O.R.S.E. event. They'll now be taking a twenty-minute break, and when they return the blinds will start to kick up and so will the action!
Stud
Catching the action on fifth street, Barry Greenstein fired out a bet before his opponent raised. Greenstein called, and then called again on sixth before he raised his opponent's bet on the river.
Greenstein: (
) 
Opponent: (
) 
Greenstein showed trip kings but his opponent had the straight to take it down. Greenstein slips to 7,700.
Omaha-8
In a pot that was four-bet preflop by three players, Ylon Schwartz led the betting on all streets with one opponent calling him down to a showdown. The board read 
and Schwartz tabled 
for a rivered set which was good for a scoop. He's up to 10,800.
Razz
We didn't catch the betting action before seventh street where Isabelle Mercier threw out a bet and her opponent made the call.
Mercier: 
-X
Opponent: 
The order of the cards was unknown but the result was clear. Mercier had made a sixty-four low which was good against her opponent's seventy-five. Mercier chips up to 10,500.
Hold'em
Barry Greenstein raised it up from late position and found a caller in the big blind. They took a flop of 
and the big blind checked it over to Greenstein who followed up with a continuation bet. His opponent made the call.
The turn was the 
and again the action went check, bet, call, before both players checked down the 
river.
Greenstein tabled 
for a pair of nines which was good enough to collect the chips and move up to 10,300.
