Players are now off for a 60-minute dinner break.
Jean Fontaine, after his potentially tournament-ending but ultimately profitable bluff earlier today, has steadily amassed chips, his laconic demeanour belying his move-making and table-needling capabilities.
Just now he called an under the gun raise from Scott Mahin (to 115,000) on the button to see a ![]()
![]()
flop. Mahin checked, Fontaine threw in a bet of 245,000 and got a fold. He showed his opponent the

Jamasi has been steamrolling through Day 3, and he's now up to 9,570,000 in chips.

Mike Lisanti is playing a stack over 3,000,000 as the second half of Level 26 plays down, but he wasn't always so chip affluent. He was on the right side of a big preflop all-in match-up, aces vs. jacks, in the last level for 1,400,000 and from there has risen into the top ten in the counts.
Charles Moore, better known as Woody, is in the thick of the table banter, sat between Layne Flack and Samir Husaynue on a table that seems to have a fairly high turnover.

WSOP bracelet winner John Esposito and WPT champion Victor Ramdin are in a dead heat, each with 1.2 million chips. Esposito stood up to report to PokerNews about an earlier hand that saw Esposito take some of Ramdin's stack with a gutshot straight.
Ramdin heard this going on from the next table and was having none of it, telling Esposito to sit back down and pay attention to his hand. This friendly banter fits right in with the overall feel of this event on Day 3, with plenty of good-natured needling going on between players at the remaining tables.
