After 10 more levels of play, Event #74: $1,500 Bounty Pot-Limit Omaha has wrapped up with only 9 players bagging and tagging for Day 3 and coming back to the unofficial final table. Those who found a bag will be playing for a $190,219 first-place prize and the coveted gold bracelet.

The day saw 124 entrants take to the tables in the Bally's Ballroom, with each knockout giving the winner a $500 bounty. Play was quick with many all-ins early. A few notables who made Day 2 but could not find a bag for the final table included recent bracelet winners Alex Livingston and Patrick Leonard, Connor Drinan (24th), Vivian Saliba (22nd), and Maxx Coleman (12th).

Nolan King bagged the biggest stack with 12,700,000 for a massive lead over the table. King won a huge pot late in the day when he was all in on the turn against Diogo Veiga with 18 outs and made his hand on the river, rocketing his stack to the overwhelming chip lead. King returns with a colossal stack of 212 big blinds and will feel like he has one hand on the bracelet.

Canada's Pei Li (5,525,000) is King's closest rival with 92 big blinds, before the rest of the final table is tightly packed with only a few big blinds separating them. Bracelet winner Konstantin Angelov (2,850,000) is in that chasing pack. Veiga is the shortest stack having lost the huge pot to King late on Day 2.

Players will return for the final day tomorrow, July 11th at 2 p.m. local time when a winner will be determined. Blinds will resume at 30,000/60,000 with a 60,000 ante. There will be a break every two levels and a dinner break if needed.

Stay tuned to PokerNews for all the updates on this event and the rest of the WSOP at Bally's and Paris Las Vegas.

PokerNews didn't catch the action, as Joao Augusto Pimenta Bueno was all in at the same time as Phu Nguyen on a different table, but Bueno was the 14th place finisher, just after Phu Nguyen busted. He'll take the same payout finishing 14th for $8,346.

Phu Nguyen Eliminated in 15th Place ($8,346)

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Phu Nguyen was all in for his last 300,000 against John Riordan.

Phu Nguyen: {a-Spades}{5-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
John Riordan: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

Phu said ''Good game'' jokingly as he saw Riordan's hand, fearing the worst.

Indeed the {2-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{8-Spades}{9-Hearts}{a-Clubs} board gave Riordan the best hand, sending Phu to the rail. He did make a pay jump, however, for his 15th place finish.

Evan Avery was all in at risk for his last 200,000 from the big blind against Ryan Scully in middle position and one other player.

Avery gets $6,835 for his 16th place finish.

Ankush Mandavia Eliminated in 19th Place ($6,835)

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Ankush Mandavia
Ankush Mandavia

After Ryan Scully limped the cutoff, Ankush Mandavia limped the button, the small blind folded and the big blind Nolan King checked his option.

On a flop of {k-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, it was checked to Manadvia who bet pot, King folded and Scully got the rest of Mandavia's approximately 200,000 stack in.

Ankush Mandavia: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
Ryan Scully: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}{8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

The {4-Hearts} turn and {10-Spades} river changed nothing as Scully's set of sixes held up, sending the bracelet winner Mandavia to the rail in 19th.

After the hand, Ryan Scully was relaying the action and let PokerNews know ''I trapped him with the checkski'', referring to his flop check, as he sipped on his beer.
