Day 3 of Event #40: $1,000 Seniors Championship – a tournament that attracted 4,193 players and created a prize pool of $3,773,700 – saw 65 players return to action, and it didn't take long for 56 of them to hit the rail. That left just nine players standing, with Travis Baker and his stack of 4.93 million leading the way.
While Baker has the most chips, the biggest story at the final table has to be that of Steve Gee, who a bracelet in the 2010 WSOP Event #13: $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em for $472,479, and then two years later final tabled the 2012 WSOP Main Event. The Octo-Niner ultimately finished in ninth place for $754,798.
Among those to fall on Day 3 were Ken Lipscombe (63rd - $8,000), David Roncelli (27th - $18,642), Leon Chambers (19th - $18,642) and poker industry veteran Dan Goldman (13th - $29,849), who used to be head of marketing for PokerStars.
According to updates from the event, Goldman fell in Level 27 (20,000/40,000/5,000) when Jim Hopperstead limped and Lee Budin called from the small blind. Goldman then moved all in from the big, Hopperstead called, and Budin got out of the way.
Hopperstead: 
Goldman: 
It was a flip, but Goldman was left wanting as the board ran out a dry 
. Hopperstead went on to bag the third biggest stack.
