Championship: Three of a Kind

$3300 + $200 Championship Deep Stack Double Play NLH (Re-Entry)

Blinds 4k/8k/1k ante

Kessler (63rd), Diaz (62nd) & Buzgon (60th)

The last few minutes of the level are unkind to some of the more recognizable names.

"I hate when that happens," says one member of the media who wishes to remain anonymous, "I'd rather
see no-names bust."

The carnage includes Allen Kessler (Las Vegas, NV), David Diaz (Bartlett, TN) and Dan Buzgon (Marlton, NJ).

Buzgon is the last elimination before break when his pocket 7s run into the pocket 8s of Tyler Gaston (Westerville, OH).

59 players remain with an average stack of 605k (61 bb) as they head on a 15 minute break.
