We caught the action on the flop, which read 
. Jason Mercier checked to Russell Brown, who fired out 10,300. John Leathart made the call from the cutoff, and it was back to Mercier. He moved all in for 56,700, and Brown got out of the way after 30 seconds of thought. However, Leathart quickly made the call.
Mercier: 
Leathart: 
Mericer would need to catch a jack or a spade to survive, and the dealer delievered the 
on the turn, giving Mercier the flush. Leathart could still claim the bounty if a ten or two, but the river brought the 
.
Mercier doubled up to 144,000, and his roller coaster day continues.

Erick Lindgren opened with a raise to 5,000 from early position. It folded around to Katie Dozier who moved all in. The player next to Dozier moved all in as well and Lindgren folded his hand. The stacks were close but Dozier's opponent was the one at risk.
Dozier: 
Opponent: 
It took about two minutes before the flop was dealt, as the ESPN crews were getting in place. The more time that passed, the more visibly antsy Dozier was getting.
"Ugh," Dozier lamented. "I hate this sweat!"
The dealer tapped the table and produced a flop of 
. Dozier heaved a sigh but still expressed how unhappy she was.
"You have to breath during this," Shaun Deeb told her from across the table. "These hands take forever. Breath."
The turn was the 
and Dozier needed to dodge and ace to double up. She did so as the river was the . Dozier was able to knock an opponent home and she's currently sitting on about 114,000.

By the time we arrived at Eugene Katchalov's table, there was already a huge pot brewing between him and Sean Rice. At this point, there was already a 
board out on the felt and roughly 80,000 in the pot. It was on Rice to act here and he checked. Katchalov then bet 50,000 and it was back on Rice. After just a few moments, Rice check-raised to 175,000. This is when the ESPN camera crew came over to the table and focused in on Katchalov.
Katchalov took over two minutes to decide what to do, eventually making the call. Rice tabled immediately, with the turned straight enough to send Katchalov's cards into the muck and leave a huge dent in his stack.

Marcel Luske continues to battle with a below average stack here on Day 3. He's hoping to equal or improve on his previous best finishes in the WSOP Main Event — a 14th-place in 2003 and a 10th-place in 2004.
Just now a short-stacked player in middle position open-pushed for 48,000, and it folded around to Luske in late position who called the raise.
Luske turned over and his opponent showed 
. The flop seemed relatively benign for Luske's opponent, coming 
. But the turn was the 
and river the 
to give the Flying Dutchman a runner-runner flush and the knockout.

2010 November Niner Soi Nguyen was eliminated by Michael Lipman, who then had a borderline over-the-top celebration.
Nguyen was all in holding and Lipman called holding 
. The board ran 
and Nguyen looked shell-shocked at his elimination. He especially did not care for Lipman's celebration which most of the Brasilia Room heard.
