The last break went a little longer than expected as the remaining 14 players filled out bio sheets in preparation for the final table. Now that the tedious business is done, the cards are back in the air!

DeWitt Tanks Well Into the Break

Postato 2011-06-06 00:25 GMT • Livello 20

Right before the end of the level, Eric Cloutier, Jason DeWitt and Sam Stein got into a hand that lasted well into the break. Cloutier opened for 30,000 from under the gun, DeWitt raised to 80,000 from the cutoff and Sam Stein bumped it to 210,000 from the button.

Cloutier got out of the way and DeWitt went deep into the tank. And by deep we seven full minutes of nothing. Stein kept his stare down at the table and DeWitt rocked back and forth in his chair. Finally he folded and they could go on break.

Action Slows Heading Into the Break

Postato 2011-06-06 00:10 GMT • Livello 20

Now that we're down to 14 players, the action seems to have hit a wall. The first two levels of Day 3 saw 13 eliminations, which was nearly half the field. Now that the stacks are a bit deeper, we expect that the elimination will be a little more evenly space.

The good news is that the players are on their first 20-minute break of the day, allowing them a little time to catch their breath from the last two hours of excitement!

Owen Crowe - 15th place

Amir Lehavot opened under the gun for 26,000 and received a call from Owen Crowe in the hijack. Tommy Vinas then made it 81,000 to go from the button, Lehavot folded, and Crowe popped it to 281,000. Vinas out in yet another raise and Crowe called off for around 390,000 total.

Crowe:
Vinas:

Crowe had picked the wrong time to limp-raise as Vinas held the ever-so-beautiful pocket rockets. Crowe was at risk and looking for a jack, but the board ran out a rather bland . Crowe was eliminated in 15th place while Vinas extended his chip lead.
