Humberto Brenes has almost doubled, getting paid for on the river of a 
with only 5,000 left when he turned over 
against Mallory Smith's 
which had turned the second nut flush. Smith is not very short as a result.
Scott Clements was all in on the turn of a 
board after check-calling a bet on the flop (having raise preflop from the cutoff and getting called by Kostas Kalathakis).
Clements: 
for a pair of jacks and a three-four low
Kalathakis: 
for the nut low.
Clements needed to avoid a ten or queen that wasn't a spade to survive and get a chop but the 
meant Kalathakis scooped the pot. The double Omaha bracelet winner will have to wait until next time.

We missed the action but saw Richard Monroe raking in the chips as Andreas Krause hit the rail. Monroe was up to 300,000 after busting Krause.

Travis Pearson raised preflop and Lex Veldhuis defended in the big blind. The flop was

Veldhuis:
Pearson: 
Veldhuis was in front but Pearson picked up the nut low draw, gutshot and nut flush draw on the turn causing a huge sweat for the Dutchman. The 
on the river was enough to scoop the pot for Pearson as he made aces and the nut low for both halves of the pot.
Scott Clements raised UTG+1 and it was folded around to Jaime Kaplan in the big blind. Kaplan made it three bets to go and Clements answered by making it four. Kaplan just called and the flop came 
. Kaplan led out and got raised by Clements. He just called and they saw the turn. Kaplan checked called Clements bet and the river was the . Both players checked and Kaplan announced ace-six high. Clements turned over

Brian Swinford raised in middle position and Jimmy Fricke defended in the big blind.
All the money went in on the 
board, Swinford held

It appears as though the initial plan will be that we will play ten levels or down to a winner today, however finishing the tournament seems highly unlikely today, some of the players have complained and would rather stop once we've made the final table.
We'll keep you updated with this story if it anything changes.
We're back in the Amazon room for Day 3 of the Limit O8 event. This is now scheduled to be a four day tournament though we are not sure what the tournament staff's plan for today is. We would assume that they would do either one of two things today:
A) Play through ten levels even if this means stopping while we are halfway through the final table
OR
B) Simply playing down to the final table and then finish off the tournament tomorrow.
The problem is that with 25 players, it's a little too much to expect us to finish the tournament today but it will definitely mean that one of the next two days will be relatively short.
Play begins at 2.30pm, Francesco Barbero leads with 459,000 just ahead of Matthew Waxman (458,000). In the meantime, allow Lynn Gilmartin to update you across all events:
