The flop ran out {7-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} and Peters check-raised all in a 225,000-chip bet from Kitchens. Kitchens called.

Day 3 Concludes, Final Table Set

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

It's the Fourth of July. And there were indeed fireworks here on Day 3 of the last of the open-field, $1,000 buy-in no-limit hold'em events.

We began with 47 players returning from a starting field of 3,844, among them 2010 WSOP bracelet winner Jesse Rockowitz and Alex Jacob. Both of them would join the group hitting the rail today, as we once again saw the field rapidly shrink.

Dustin Dorrance-Bowman emerged as a leader as we got down to 15 players. Then Marcel Vonk moved forward to take the advantage. Then Henrik Tollefsen scored a huge double-up versus Dorrance-Bowman that helped propel him into the chip lead as we got down to 10 players.

Finally David Peters used pocket aces to eliminate Johnny Kitchens in 10th place, and our final nine was set. That hand put Peters in the chip lead entering tomorrow's final day of play, with Vonk and Tollefsen not too far behind.

As you check in on all of the Day 1a Main Event coverage tomorrow, stop on by over here to see who of our final nine takes home this Event #54 bracelet and the $570,960 first prize. Coverage begins at 3 p.m. local time.
