All players have 75 minutes to consume a meal of their choosing. When they come back at roughly 8 p.m. local time, play will continue in Level 4, the penultimate level of the day.
In the meantime, check out some highlights of Level 3 below.
With the board already reading A♥7♥10♦, the turn came the 9♠. A player in middle position bet and was called by Damien Steel in the small blind.
The river fell a 5♥ and middle position fired again, with a roughly pot-sized bet of 5,300.
Steel called and his opponent showed Q♣J♠. Steel turned over K♠10♥ and his pair of tens claimed the pot.
Julien Martini was heads-up with Paul Serrate with a completed board of 8♥5♠5♣3♠3♥ spread across the felt. There was around 25,000 in the middle and Serrate checked to Martini who shoved all in as the bigger stack.
Serrate was sitting on a stack of 53,000 and had a decision to make for his tournament life. "I want to call you with ace-high," he said to Martini but got no reaction. Three minutes passed by and Serrate agonized some more before making the call.
Martini rolled over 8♣8♦ for a full house which made Serrate throw his A♠10♠ face up in disgust before exiting the tournament area.
Tauan De Oliveira raised 800 in the cutoff and both Greg Raymer in the small blind and the big blind called.
The dealer fanned a flop of A♠3♥2♣ and Raymer check-folded, while the big blind check-called a bet of 600.
The Q♣ landed on the turn and once checked to, Oliveira continued for 2,000. The big blind gave it up, passing his cards back to the dealer.
There was a early position open to 1,000. He got a call from middle position, the button, and Hugh Rowe in the small blind.
The flop landed K♣7♥Q♦ and action checked the whole way through.
The turn brought a 4♦ and action checked to the middle position player who bet 3,000. The button called and action was on Rowe in the small blind. Rowe gathered some chips and put in the check-raise to 8,000.
The rest of the players all sat in the tank for a moment but each one came to the same conclusion. Fold.
Rowe scooped to get back closer to starting stack.
From middle position, Dennis Wiley placed a single 1,000 chip in front of him but didn't say "raise", so his bet was considered a limp. Robert Lofaso in the cutoff limped after him, as well as Alan Goasdoue on the button. The big blind checked.
Everybody checked on the flop K♥5♠A♦. Then on the turn 4♠, Lofaso bet 1,300. He was called by Goasdoue and Wiley.
The river brought the A♣, and all three players checked. Wiley thought he had the win with 10♥10♦. But it was Lofaso who took the pot as he had A♠6♣ for a set of aces.
Neil Blumenfield was heads-up from the big blind on a board of 9♦K♦10♥3♥ against the player on the button.
Blumenfield checked to his opponent, who bet 5,500. Blumenfield then shoved for 27,900 total, which got a long tank from his opponent before eventually folding.
Blumenfield, who finished third in the 2015 WSOP Main Event, is currently sitting with 37,000 a little over half way through Day 1b.
Dietrich Fast and Max Steinberg were heads up on a board of 10♥5♦K♠10♦, with a pot of around 5,000 chips in the middle. Fast checked from the cutoff to Steinberg, who was on the button.
Steinberg put out a bet and Fast check-raised, which quickly got a fold.
One hand later, Fast and Brian Kim were battling over 3,500 chips on a flop of 2♥10♦K♠. Fast checked from the hijack and Kim put out 1,500 chips. Fast check-raised again, this time to 6,500.
Kim made the call before the two players checked down on the 7♠J♣ runout.
Fast tabled A♥K♠ and his top pair was good enough to rake in his second consecutive pot.
