Level 3 : 300/600, 0 ante

With fairly large starting stacks and relatively low limits early in the event, it can take a few levels before the first bustout. But in level three, we've had at least one elimination.

The first bustout that we noticed was Arkadiy Tsinis, who has left the tournament area with no chips in front of his former seat.
