Seth Berger Leads Day 3 of Event #57: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em
Welcome back to Day 3 of Event #57: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em. We’re left with just 31 players today, who will play it out till we reach the final table, before coming back for a scheduled Day 4 tomorrow.
Leading the way is Seth Berger, with 986,000 in chips. He’ll be hoping to go one better in this event, after narrowly missing out on a bracelet, when he came second in Event #3: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em. Snapping at Berger’s heels are Philipp Gruissem {743,000) and Antonio Buonanno (732,000) as well as Dan Martin, Matt Perrins, Joe Serock and Olivier Busquet amongst the big stacks.
But we can't ignore Matt Berkey and Randal Flowers who are mid-pack, as well as short-stacks JC Tran, Sam Trickett, Grant Levy and Pratyush Buddiga, who have all been in this situation before, and have managed to prevail when it counts.
The play is set to kick off at 1:00pm, around 30 minutes from now. Stay tuned to PokerNews.com, as we bring you all the action, from the Blue Section of the Amazon Room, here at the Rio All-Suite Las Vegas Hotel and Casino.
For now, enjoy Kristy Arnett's daily updates video.

Pantaleo Hits The Rail
Level 21
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Shortly after getting crippled by Carter Swidler, Giuseppe Pantaleo was eliminated by Grant Levy. We didn't catch the action, but Levy told us he had 
and turned the nut straight to send Pantaleo home. Pantaleo was holding 
and it was being tossed into the muck as he was standing up and heading to the payout desk.
On his way out, Pantaleo frustratedly through a water bottle on the ground.

Ramin Hajiyev and Yaron Zeev Malki Eliminated Simultaneously
Level 21
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Ramin Hajiyev and Yaron Zeev Malki were eliminated at just about the same time at two separate tables, bringing the field down to 27 players.
The first hand we caught was Hajiyev's. He was all in with 
against 
for a classic race situation. Unfortunately for him the board ran out 
and his opponent's full house was good to send him home from the tournament.
At the table just next to Hajiyev's, Malki was all in and sweating as well when he got his 
all in against Thomas Muehloecker's 
. The board ran out 
giving Muehloecker the winning full house and eliminating Malki from the tournament.
The players are taking a short break now to redraw for seats.
