No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw
Faith Klimczak moved all in from early position and Marco Johnson called for his last 211,000. Johnson ended up with a 10-9-6 low to beat Klimczak's 10-9-8 and leave her with less than 200,000.
The next hand, Klimczak pushed all in again, Johnson re-shoved from the small blind, and Ben Yu in the big blind got out of the way.
Johnson turned over 
and Klimczak needed help with 
. Instead, she got a pair of fours and hit the rail in 11th place.

Ben Yu raised on the button and Brian Rast went all in for about 120,000 total.
"Above average," said Rast. He turned over 
. Yu turned over 
to show that Rast needed help.
"Oh, you're way above average," said Rast as he waited for the board to reveal his fate.
The flop came 
, offering no help and giving Yu the unneeded flush draw. The 
turn and 
river wouldn't do it and Rast was eliminated.

Badacey
Norman Chad raised to 125,000 before the draw and called when Charles Bransford re-raised. Chad drew one while Bransford stood pat.
"You get dealt a hand that you can pat? There's no skill in that. If you hadn't been born on the day you were born and entered this tournament, I would be sitting there right now. See how many times he needed to get lucky," Chad said.
Bransford bet and Chad called, with Chad drawing one again. Bransford put him all in after the second draw.
"$100 gas on this AAA card. You know how many times I've run out of gas in the desert and they come to get you," Chad said as he put in the card, as well as his last chips.
"You're drawing dead," Bransford said, turning over 
. Chad kept his 
but didn't improve any further after taking two and was eliminated to a round of applause from the rail.
"It must be the shoes," Jorge Walker said about Chad's bowling alley footwear.
"What kind of shoes is he wearing? Oh, those are nice shoes," Chad replied after taking a look at Bransford's sneakers.

No-Limit Hold'em
Action picked up on the turn with a board reading 
. Noaya Kihara had position on Aftred Atamian in the blinds, and Kihara placed a bet of 160,000 into a pot of about 220,000. Atamian thought for a while and put in the call.
The 
did what deuces do, changed nothing. Atamian checked the final street and Kihara thought for about 60 seconds. He assembled a large bet of pink chips and slid out 430,000.
Atamian thought for about three minutes this time, going back and forth and considering his options. At the end of his deliberation, he elected to fold and the pot as slid to Kihara.

The cards were already on their back on the river with the board showing 
and Kevin Thomas all in for around 200,000.
Alfred Atamian had 
for two pair and a low, while Thomas could only show 
for a pair of aces and an inferior low, becoming the first casualty of Day 3.

Two full days of play have been completed in Event 4: $1,500 Dealer's Choice 6-Handed and 14 mixed-game players return today to play down to a champion. Play will resume at 2 p.m. local time inside the Bally's Event Center. First place will go home with $126,288 and the coveted bracelet.
There were a total of 430 hopeful entries and now just three tables remain from which a winner will be crowned. The overwhelming chip leader is Brad Ruben with 2,102,000 chips, representing just over 20 percent of the chips in play. His path to a fourth bracelet will be anything but simple with the slew of opponents looking to spoil his plans.
Jorge Walker (1,420,000) led the field for much of Day 2. Players were likely grateful when he eliminated mixed-game star Adam Friedman on the final hand of Day 2 play. Walker is the only player to have even half of Ruben's stack.
Also looking to write his own spot in Dealer's Choice history is Jaswinder Lally (565,000). Lally won this event last year and seeks to defend his title.
Crowd favorite Norman Chad has bracelet-seeking plans of his own. Chad will look to strike early and often, spare no chance at grabbing chips, and scoop the split pot games to send his opponents to the gutter. Chad was sporting some bowling shoes to glide his way into this deep run. He'll look to secure as many doubles as possible today and play his perfect game to take this one home.
Also filling out the star-studded field are bracelet winners Ben Yu (848,000), Naoya Kihara (808,000), Marco Johnson (521,000), and Brian Rast (466,000).
Stay tuned in here to PokerNews to see the exciting finish.
