Byron Weisfeld was absent from his seat for the first 90 minutes to start Day 3. Having only 270,000 to start the day, Weisfeld was slowly getting blinded out until he finally showed up with around 150,000 left in his stack.

According to the table, Weisfeld claimed that his hotel was on fire which caused the delay in his arrival.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Chris Moorman opened to 50,000 in the cutoff and Jareth East went into the tank from the small blind just like he's been doing for the first two hours today. The clock was called and he was given 30 seconds to act in which he finally pushed out a raise to 230,000, leaving 20,000 chips behind. Moorman shoved all in and East started to tank again. This time, he was only given 10 seconds to act before he called off his last chips.

Jareth East: K♣9♣
Chris Moorman: 4♥4♣

The board ran out 6♥6♦3♣8♣Q♥ and Moorman's pocket fours held up to eliminate East just shy of the pay jump.

"So now we can play at a normal place," one player was overheard saying.
