Level 3
: 150/300, 0 ante
The dinner bell has rang with the remaining Day 1a players all heading on a 90-minute break.
The previous level began with players such as PokerNews' own Chad Holloway chipping up before Tony Dunst put pressure on Sam Barnhart. However it would be on the feature table that we would see the hand of the century according to Ronnie Bardah when Dominik Nitsche hit running queens to stay alive against Tatiana Barausova.
Six-time WSOP bracelet winner T.J. Cloutier would be one of the victims for the level while high-stakes player Olivier Busquet climbed the leaderboard following a series of hands; one in which he picked off a bluff with second pair.
As the final few hands began to play out, Johnny Steven would see his stack reach the upper echelon of counts as he ended the level with 100,100, but it would be Gal Erlichman continuing his dominance up top as he ended the level as chip leader with 122,000.
With play not resuming until roughly 8:25 p.m. local time, enjoy this video of Eli Elezra's winner interview after he claimed his second bracelet last night.

Level 4
: 150/300, 25 ante
Ivan Demidov raised to 700 from late position, and both blinds called. All three players checked down all three streets as the board rolled out 
. The big blind showed ace-high, and Demidov asked if any pair was good as he turned over 
. His pair won the pot, and after dropping down early, Demidov is back up to his starting stack.

Level 4
: 150/300, 25 ante
Lee Childs, a former World Series of Poker final tablist, raised to 1,200 from late position. The player to Childs' direct left flat-called (hijack), only to see Dan Fleyshman three-bet to 5,175 from his seat in the small blind. Childs folded but the player in the hijack called.
The flop ran out 
and Fleyshman immediately moved in for his last 15,000. The hijack tanked for almost a minute before calling.
Fleyshman flipped over the 
in front of him and his opponent the 
. The turn and river were the 
and 
respectively, the hijack commenting how he would have lost anyway because he put Fleyshman on pocket queens.
