On a board reading 
Amanda Musumeci checked to the player on the button, who bet 1,500. Amanda Musumeci raised to 4,200 and was called.
The river brought the 
into play and Musumeci led out for 6,375, leaving just 21,000 behind. The player on the button raised to 13,000 and Musumeci folded.
With five cashes, three final tables, and two bracelets, it hasn't been a bad year for Frank Kassela, and barring some miracle from the Poker Gods, we should be seeing his enlarged face in the Rio corridors next year as we make our daily jaunt to Starbucks.
However, 2010 could get even better for Kassela, as he's currently plugging away in today's field in a final effort to make it bracelet #3. At time of writing, he has 58,000 in chips, and so will be in great shape when players return from the upcoming dinner break.
John Juanda was all in preflop with the 
. He was up against the 
of Jason Calacanis, who can recently be seen on an episode of PokerStars' The Big Game. The board ran out 
and that was it for Juanda.
We arrived to see a flop reading 
and Frank Kassela all in to cover his opponent. She seemed to have been dwelling up for some time. "Can I use a lifeline?" she asked unhappily.
She tanked up for a little longer, and eventually folded 
face up. Kassela showed her 
for the Right Decision.
"That's what I thought," she said, satisified.
Kassela edged up to 60,000.
What did we learn the last two hours?
LeBron James is a member of the Miami Heat, Phil Ivey and Emmitt Smith are to dine together and Brent Baldrey has a lot of chips.
150,000 chips to be exact.
2005 Main Event Champion Joe Hachem hit the door, and so too did the player he beat heads up to win the title; Steve Dannenmann. Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy, Blair Hinkle, Jose Nacho Barbero and Anna Wroblewski also reported to the rail during Level 3.
Anh Van Nguyen (94,000) and Johannes Steindl (98,000) are on the up and up, while Phil Ivey has slipped all the way down to the starting stack.
The prizepool was announced during the level, and this year's Main Event champion will bank $8,944,138. This of course comes with the bracelet, the fame and a load of sponsorship deals.
Unless you decline them...
We are now on a 90-minute dinner break which puts the cards back in the air at roughly 8:25 p.m. PST. If you want to know where we're going to eat dinner, you'll just have to wait for our Decision at our twitter page.
Just kidding, but you should follow us anyway!
Level: 4
Blinds: 150/300
Ante: 25
There was about 5,000 in the pot with a board reading 
when Humberto Brenes bet 2,400. His sole opponent on the button looked as if he might make the call but opted to muck. The win gave Brenes' stack a boost to around 57,000.
Almost 10 minutes into the level and we're still missing an awful lot of players - some tables are actually playing six-handed at the moment. We blame the queues at Buzios.
One man who is not late, but rather on the move, is William Thorson. No longer present at his old table with fellow Scandie Andreas Hoivold, we can't wait to see which other players he'll be terrorizing over in the red section.
Doug Lee is out. On one of the first hands after returning from the break, a short-stacked Lee found himself all in before the flop with 
and unfortunately was up against an opponent holding 
.
The board ran out 
, and Lee hits the rail.
