Charlie Ciresi introduced all remaining players for the tentative schedule of Day 3 including a color up of the T-100 chips at the end of the current level and a dinner break of 75 minutes as of approximately 8.05 p.m. local time. Especially that very announcement triggered applause in the Amazon Room, as the initial dinner break was only 60 minutes.
With another two levels planned after that, the money bubble may not burst, but they will try to reach the money and may play an additional level to do so, then bag right after the bubble has burst if the action continues beyond the full five levels.
A brutal turn cared for Sean Winter has just seen him lose the majority of his stack after David Gutierrez hit a set.
The flop came down 
before the turn came the 
. The two players got all their chips into the middle and Winter saw that his two pair on the turn was behind to a set of tens.
Sean Winter: 
David Gutierrez: 
There was miracle river card for Winter, which meant Gutierrez doubled to 200,000 and Winter was left short.

Following a raise from late position, DJ MacKinnon three-bet to 14,000 from the hijack. The action folded to Frank Flowers in the small blind, and he slid out a stack of chips amounting to a four-bet of 125,000. The original raiser folded, and MacKinnon called all-in for roughly that amount.
Flowers: 
MacKinnon: 
MacKinnon was at risk and racing for his tournament life, and when the dealer spread a 
flop, he would need to find an ace or king to stay alive.
The turn of the 
was the best possible card for MacKinnon that didn't give him the lead, as now he could win with any heart, ace, king, or queen.
Unfortunately for MacKinnon, the river landed the 
, and was eliminated from the Main Event.
As Flowers scooped in the pot, and broke down his chip stack, he has now taken the chip lead.
