All summer long, a special promotion labeled Multi-Table Madness will be running from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. PT each night. The promotion will select one random hand at a random cash-game table during those hours that will award every player dealt into the hand with a cash bonus up to $100.
What's more is that WSOP.com will be sweetening the prize by giving players as much as $100 more for each additional table they're playing at during the time of the drawing. That means if you're playing in four different cash games when your table is selected, you could walk away with up to $400 in bonus money.

The third level of Day 3 is done and dusted with approximately 1,053 players heading on a 90-minute dinner break with play resuming at roughly 8:10 p.m.
Roughly 230 players would be bounced to the rail this level as players looked to ascend up the chip leaderboard. 2013 Poker Players' Championship winner Matthew Ashton decline came in two similar pots when he lost with a straight and flush draw twice to be bounced to the rail. Barry Greenstein then ran his into to hit the rail, before Ryan Riess' title defense came to an end when his couldn't outdraw Steve Brecher's on a board. Erik Seidel, Earl Barron, Ted Forrest, Chris Lindh, Kitty Kuo and Eric Wasserson would also join them on the rail.
Unfortunately for Jorn Walthaus, his day would end after he triple-barrel bluffed against 10-time NBA All-Star Paul Pierce. Walthaus raised out of the small blind and then barreled the board before moving all in on the river with only to have Pierce call him down with . Pierce celebrated by launching to his feet - giving his masseuse a small break — before returning to be seated behind a 237,000-chip stack. Pierce would end the level with 223,300.
Although chip leader Isaac Baron would have a quiet level, he still managed to finish on top as he takes 855,500 into his dinner break. However many players below him made a move up the leaderboard with the likes of Raul Mestre (825,000), Steve Tripp (755,000), Tim Roupe (750,000), Timur Margolin (712,000), Steve Chanthabouasy (658,000) and Martin Jacobson (597,000) all surging up the counts.
There's a first prize of $10 million awaiting the winner. While we wait for play to resume, see what players said they'd do if they were to win:

Three players checked to the button on a flop of , and the player there bet 25,000. Gennady Shimelfarb folded in the blinds, and Mike Dentale called after some thought in the hijack. The cutoff woke up with an all-in shove for 86,700 more, and the player on the button quickly folded. Dentale seemed frustrated and said he figured he was ahead of the player on the button but wasn't sure about the cutoff.
"Do you want to gamble?" he asked.
"I already have," the cutoff pointed out. "Mine's out there."
Dentale let it go after another minute of thought.

Action folded to Daryl Roberts on the button and he put in a raise to 6,200. Tom Roupe, who was sitting on a massive stack, responded by moving all in from the small blind. The player in the big quickly folded, and Roberts, who had 59,300 total, seemed tortured as to what to do. He thought long and hard, often shifting in his chair, before calling off.
"Good luck," Roupe offered.
Roupe:

It was a classic race, and Roberts was looking to hold. The in the window made it seem as if Roupe was going to chip up even more, but then it was followed by the . Roberts flopped a set and locked up the double when the appeared on the turn. The meaningless was put out on the river, and Roupe counted out the chips to pay off his opponent.

Wilke, wasn't drawing dead as he had for top pair, gutshot straight draw, and flush draw. The flush draw would get there on the turn with the and Wilke would pump his fist in celebration. The river was the and Wilke scored the knock out and moved up to 485,000 in chips.

Brothers Vinny and Mukul Pahuja are seated no more than five steps away from each other at Tables 434 and 438 respectively in the Purple Section of the Amazon Room, and they both have respectable stacks as well.
Vinny is sitting at 361,000 chips, and little brother isn't so far behind with 350,000. Both of them have about double the average stack.
Mukul is having a banner year, winning the Season XII World Poker Tour Player of the Year, while Vinny has seven cashes at the 2014 WSOP, including 12th and seventh-place finishes in no-limit hold'em events.
Combined, the brothers only have one cash in the Main Event - Vinny finished 659th in 2011 for $19,359 - and could triple that number with a double cash on Day 4.
