We jspotted Phil Hellmuth and Phil Ivey registering for the tournament just before the end of the second break. Hellmuth will get another chance to scoop up the 14th bracelet of his career, while Ivey will be going for his 10th.
Level 4 has come to an end, and that means it's time for the 30-minute dinner break. That means anyone hoping to late register has until the start of Level 5 to do so. Shortly after we return we'll have the official numbers for you, including the prize pool and payout information.
It's also worth mentioning that Chris Tryba has been eliminated from the tournament while Mike Leah is doing quite well and is up to a healthy 41,000.
Before the days of online poker training sites, books like The Theory of Poker and Tournament Poker For Advanced Players were the resources for any serious poker player. One of the first players to merge academics and poker, Sklansky's theories are still regarded as the basis of all advanced poker strategy. Go ahead and ask any world-class player--David Sklansky taught the world how to play professional poker.
His books and instructional videos elevated the game to a higher level, accurately detailing strategic concepts that only the top professionals knew at the time, most of them learning through thousands of hands of experience. Sklansky gave the recreational player a poker "tool-box," explaining concepts like pot odds, implied odds and gap theory in terms that they could easily understand. After reading his books, the more studious player could instantly apply his concepts at the table and begin to show a profit.
Sklansky, who plays mostly non-holdem events these days, is a contender in today's field and is going after the 4th bracelet of his career.

Daniel Negreanu brought it in with the and Chad Brown completed. Scott Seiver and another player called, as did Negreanu, and four players went to fourth street. Brown bet when it was his turn, Negreanu got out of the way, and Seiver and the unknown player called.
After a check on fifth, Brown bet again and drove both his opponents from the hand. Brown then showed the for an ace-high flush with a low draw.
"Finally makes something and no action," Randy Ohel, who was seated to Brown's left quipped. Brown no doubt wanted action not just because he had the goods, but because his chip stack could use a boost. He's currently sitting on 8,500.
A rematch from the 1983 WSOP Event #3 Limit Seven Card Stud Hi-Low.
Three decades ago Artie Cobb, who we told you a bit about earlier, took down the first of his four bracelets in the 1983 World Series of Poker Event #3 Limit Seven Card Stud Hi-Low. That event attracted 104 entries, which created a prize pool of $104,000.
Cobb defeated a young David Singer, who many remember as the 2003 WSOP Main Event ninth-place finisher, to capture that bracelet and the $52,000 first-place prize.
Both men are in today’s field, though they’re not seated together. We’re kind of hoping they might find themselves at the same table later in the tournament for an old-fashioned rematch. Only time will tell if that happens, but we’ll definitely be looking for it.
