The remaining 2,088 players have been sent on a 75-minute dinner break and will be returning at approximately 8:05 pm. At this time there will be a colour up as the purple 500 chips are being raced off.
Players will be returning on Level 14 with blinds at 3,000/5,000 with a 5,000 big blind ante.
We are over the halfway mark on Day 3 of the main event. Highlights from the past level are available to read below.
Matthew Schiavo was down to just 21,000 and pushed all in from early position.
"No regard for the dinner break," a tablemate asked him.
"I don't care. I already started drinking. Beer level started early," Schiavo replied. "Remember this when I finish third," he added as Lucas Pochat called in middle position.
Matthew Schiavo: 10♠10♦
Lucas Pochat: A♦A♠
"I can crack those," Schiavo said optimistically, but his hope proved misguided as the board ran out Q♥K♦6♠6♥7♣, sending him to the rail just before the break.
Derek Crooks opened 10,000 in the hijack, and the cutoff three-bet to 30,000. The button and blinds quickly got out of the way before Crooks four-bet to 80,000.
The cutoff went deep in the tank, saying, "My first premium."
After about two minutes, the cutoff made the call.
The dealer spread a flop of J♦7♥4♣, and Crooks moved all-in, covering his opponent. The cutoff had 115,000 remaining and eventually let it go. Crooks let him know he made a good fold, tabling A♥A♦.
Justin Shelton raised to 8,000 and got called by David Mzareulov on the button and the blinds to create a four-way pot.
The flop appeared 8♠A♥7♣ and it checked to Mzareulov who bet 15,000. Only Shelton decided to called to stay in the pot.
The turn was the J♠ and Shelton check-called again, this time for 35,000.
When the 8♣ landed on the river, Shelton checked and faced a bet worth 150,000 from Mzareulov, putting him at risk for a remaining stack around 120,000.
After some thinking, Shelton eventually folded and Mzareulov added the chips to his stack.
Ronald Hayhurst started today with 129,000 chips and has just been eliminated after being forced all in from the big blind.
However, Hayhurst actually never sat down. His seat had remained empty throughout the day, paying the blinds and antes and receiving two cards no one would ever get to play with over and over again.
After three levels on Day 3, it was finally the end of Hayhurst's Main Event adventure.
