"Captain" Tom Franklin and his hat (speaking as bloggers, we love people who wear clothes with their names on) seem to have disappeared. We're not sure exactly what happened, but former tablemate Warren Wooldridge is in possession of a suspiciously hefty 250,000 stack.
As we head into the last half hour of the day, James Mackey still looks to be our chip leader - he's now upped his stack to 590,000.
Alain Medesan found pocket kings, and furthermore found an unhappy gentleman to smack into them.
Medesan: 
Unhappy Gentleman: 
Board: 
The other player busted, and Medesan was up to 255,000.
The board read 
and there was about 180,000 in the pot.
Sasha Rosewood checked to Peter Kaemmerlen who shoved for around 110,000. Rosewood tank called but mucked when Kaemmerlen showed 
.
On a flop of 
Scott Lipshutz checked to his opponent who bet 18,500. Lipshutz moved all in and was called.
Lipshutz: 
Opponent: 
Both players had 114,500 on the dot. The board held up for Lipshutz giving him the double up and he sent his opponent to the rail.
We were due to play 10 levels today, but the combination of a late start and the delay owing to the problem with the payouts system, added to the fact that this event is clearly going to run to four days anyway, means that we will be playing the remaining 45 minutes of this level and then calling it a night.
The board read 
when we caught up with the gentleman in the big blind shoving for 78,000 into a 30,000 pot. Stephen Cellucci made the call.
Cellucci: 
for a pair of sixes
Big blind: 
for a flush draw
Turn: 
River: 
As it turned out, both players made a flush, but the all-in player's was higher and he doubled up. Cellucci was left with 120,000.
With 94 players remaining at this time, we're guessing that this has now become a four day event.
Cards are in the air.
Level: 17
Blinds: 3,000/6,000
Ante: 500
Let's take a break from it all. We'll see you in 20 minutes.
