Dror Michaelo led the field of 35 players to enter Day 3 of the $1,500 NLHE event (WSOP #32) with 876,000 in chips. At Level 24 (4,000/12,000/24,000) the 9-handed final table was formed:
Level 25 (5,000/15,000/30,000) saw a quick decline in the number of finalists: Marc Mclaughlin, Martin Stevens and Kyle Cartwright went all-in preflop and Mclaughlin had the nuts, rivering a top pair of queens. Rodrigo Portaleoni was out in the next hand and Randy Haddox in the one after that. Following Michaelo, Gabriel Morin and, after an extended 3-handed play, Mclaughlin, Caldwell and Corbin White remained to play heads-up.
In the last hand of the short session, the players shoved preflop:
Caldwell:
8

White:A

Board:7

Kirk Caldwell
A full house was worth the fourth Canadian WSOP bracelet of 2011, going to Caldwell. The results can be seen below.
The 18 players returning to Day 3 of the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-Low event (WSOP #33) included names like Antony Lellouche, Joe Tehan, Phil Hellmuth, John Racener, Ted Forrest, Phil Laak, Erik Seidel and Bill Chen. The 8-handed final table was played by those listed below:
Ali Eslami was eliminated first and followed by Joe Tehan, Mikhail Savinov and David Benyamine. At Level 25 (10,000/50,000/100,000) Hellmuth, Racener and Forrest got all in:
Hellmuth: (8 4 ) 3 K J K (Q )
Forrest: (8 4 ) 6 3 Q 7 (T )
Racener: (A 4 ) 7 Q 2 K (5 )
Hellmuth got the high pot and Racener won the low, Forrest finished in 4th place. With Racener out in 3rd, Rodawig and Hellmuth got to play heads-up; in the one hour long session Hellmuth could not take the lead and, eventually, shoved his last 280,000:
Rodawig: (A 8 ) 3 2 2 3 (K )
Hellmuth: (J T ) 9 5 7 4 (J )
Eric Rodawig
Hellmuth finished 2nd for the 2nd time in this year’s WSOP; his 12th bracelet is yet to be won. The 'Brat', however, handled his defeat unusually easily and congratulated Rodawig for his first WSOP title ever. The results are as follows:
