Upon the completion of the break, the daily bracelet award ceremonies took place and saw Jonathan Taylor and Tom Schneider receive their bracelets for their victories in Event #14: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em and Event #15: $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. respectively.
The two men received a nice round of applause from the crowd here in the Pavilion, but now it's back to business as cards are in the air and Level 3 is underway.

We just took another stroll through the Amazon Room and some new tables have sprung up since or last visit. Here's a look at some of the new faces in the field.

We caught the action in a three-way hand on the turn with a board reading 
. An unknown player in middle position had just bet 200 only to have Eli Elezra raise to 400 from the cutoff. The button made the call, the middle-position player three-bet and two calls followed.
When the 
completed the board on the river, the middle-position player bet, Elezra called and the button got out of the way.
"I assume we're chopping," the middle-position player said before tabling the 
. Indeed that was the case as Elezra showed the 
for a straight.
"What would you do if a deuce come?" Elezra asked with a big smile.

We didn't catch his final hand, but we can confirm that defending champ Herbert Tapscott has been eliminated from the tournament. While Tapscott lasted two full days last year to capture the bracelet, he was barely able to make it through two levels here in 2013.
Tapscott's elimination means that we will have a new $1,500 Omaha Hi-Low 8-or-Better champion!

We walked into a hand where Chad Brown was all in for his last few chips, making a side pot of around 1,000 with two other opponents.
The board came 
, which gave Brown a six-high straight for the high, allowing him to chop the side-pot for a 525 win. Brown is still alive, but he'll need to start scooping some pots to keep up with the blinds in Level 3.

Five players each put in 100, including World Series of Poker bracelet winner Cory Zeidman in the big blind, to see a flop of 
. The small blind checked, Zeidman bet and two players made the call.
When the dealer burned and turned the 
, the small blind checked for a second time and Zeidman tossed out another bet. An in-between player called, the small blind folded and then both Zeidman and his opponent checked the river.
"Three jacks," Zeidman said and showed the 
. It was good enough to scoop the pot as his opponent showed the 
.

Level: 4
Blinds: 75/150
Ante: 0
In the last hand of Level 3, Dennis Yares limped the cutoff and a short-stacked "Downtown" Chad Brown did the same from the small blind. The big checked his option and it was three-way action to the 
flop.
Brown took the initiative and led out for 100, the big blind folded and Yares made the call. Brown then bet 200 on the turn, leaving himself a single green T25 chip behind, and Yares once again called. Brown's last chip went in on the river and Yares called with the 
for a rivered flush.
Brown took one last look at his 
, wished the table luck and then exited the Braisilia Room.
