The start of Level 3 was delayed just a few minutes for the awarding of the gold bracelet to Panayote "Peter" Vilandos for his win over a tough field in Event 50: $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em. That marked a third career bracelet for the 72-year-old Vilandos, after his having won them previously in 1995 and 2009.

The national anthem of Greece was played in honor of Vilandos's triumph, and now play is back underway.
