Jame Kerstetter was the last remaining female in the field at the start of today, but was sent to the rail early in today's play by Seyed Madani. We caught up with the action to see Madani's 
scoop the pot on a 
board. Kerstetter was eliminated in 33rd place.
Chip leader Dror Michaelo opened to 32,000 from early position, and Josh Brikis moved all in for around 100,000 two spots to his left. The action folded to Adam Lippert who tank-folded in the big blind, and Michaelo made the call.
Michaelo: 
Brikis: 
Brikis outraced Michaelo as the board ran 
, doubling his stack to over 200,000 chips.

There was a queen on the 
flop, giving Aron the lead, but Lang snatched it right back when the 
spiked on the turn. The 
on the river paired the board, and Lang received an early double up.

Welcome back to the 2011 World Series of Poker!
Two days ago, 2828 players signed up for Event #32: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em with their eyes fixed upon a bracelet and the first place prize of $668,276. Today, on Day 3, only 35 runners are still in the hunt for the hardware and the cash.
Dror Michaelo leads the way with 876,000 chips, but there are a handful of players with big stacks, including Adam Geyer who is second in chips with 664,000. Geyer made a deep run in Event #23: $2,500 Eight-Game Mix, finishing 9th for $19,268.
One of the more familiar faces remaining in the field is Josh Brikis. Brikis finished 55th in the 2010 Main Event ($138,285), and has already made a final table at the 2011 WSOP in Event #9: $1,500 2-7 Draw Lowball. He finished 6th, taking home $14,296. Brikis is short-stacked entering the day, but if he can chip up early he'll be a force to reckon with.
The plan is to play to a winner today, but if we complete ten levels before a champion is crowned, then we will return tomorrow for a Day 4. One might think that going from 35 players to one is a tall task, but in no limit hold'em anything can happen.
The cards will be in the air in about 15 minutes, so be sure to keep it locked for all of your up-to-the-minute updates!
