The day started with 60 players returning and players quickly dropped from the field. Sarah Wasch was the last women standing and was a victim of a double knockout at the hands of Israeli Tsuf Saltsberg as she was eliminated in 17th place. Other notables who were eliminated before the final table included four-time WSOP bracelet winner Jeremy Ausmus in 15th ($14,119) and Main Event final tablist Nick Marchington in 16th ($14,119).

Kohichi Manago was the first eliminated from the final table in 10th ($22,176) as his ace-king lost out to Jonathan Van Fleet's ace-queen. Day 2 chip leader John Ypma was eliminated in ninth place ($28,129) after running cold on the final table as his pocket queens were cracked by Frank Reichel's ace-jack as well as losing a big flip with his pocket nines against Tsuf Saltsberg's ace-king. Tamir Saidman was eliminated in eighth place ($35,964) in one of the last hands of the night as his pocket jacks lost to Abdullah Alshanti's ace-king.

Still remaining in the field is notorious online crusher Van Fleet (32,800,000) who has over $20,000,000 in online cashes and is looking to transfer his success to the live arena by adding a WSOP bracelet to his resume. However, it is Alex Jim who leads the field with 36,300,000. The American cashed the Main Event last year and also has a WSOP circuit ring to his name but like Van Fleet will be looking to secure the prestigious gold bracelet.

Action resumes on June 30 at Level 38, blinds 500,000/ 1,000,000 with a 1,000,000 big blind ante when the remaining seven players will continue their quest for the gold in the 60 minute levels.
