The day started with 60 players returning and players quickly dropped from the field. Sarah Wasch was the last women standing and was a victim of a double knockout at the hands of Israeli Tsuf Saltsberg as she was eliminated in 17th place. Other notables who were eliminated before the final table included four-time WSOP bracelet winner Jeremy Ausmus in 15th ($14,119) and Main Event final tablist Nick Marchington in 16th ($14,119).
Kohichi Manago was the first eliminated from the final table in 10th ($22,176) as his ace-king lost out to Jonathan Van Fleet's ace-queen. Day 2 chip leader John Ypma was eliminated in ninth place ($28,129) after running cold on the final table as his pocket queens were cracked by Frank Reichel's ace-jack as well as losing a big flip with his pocket nines against Tsuf Saltsberg's ace-king. Tamir Saidman was eliminated in eighth place ($35,964) in one of the last hands of the night as his pocket jacks lost to Abdullah Alshanti's ace-king.
Still remaining in the field is notorious online crusher Van Fleet (32,800,000) who has over $20,000,000 in online cashes and is looking to transfer his success to the live arena by adding a WSOP bracelet to his resume. However, it is Alex Jim who leads the field with 36,300,000. The American cashed the Main Event last year and also has a WSOP circuit ring to his name but like Van Fleet will be looking to secure the prestigious gold bracelet.
Action resumes on June 30 at Level 38, blinds 500,000/ 1,000,000 with a 1,000,000 big blind ante when the remaining seven players will continue their quest for the gold in the 60 minute levels.

Level 37

Tamir Saidman moved all in from middle position for 4,800,000. Abdullah Alshanti moved all in as well from the button with Saidman covered, but got no further callers.
Tamir Saidman: 
Abdullah Alshanti: 
Said was ahead for now, but needed to sweat against Alshanti's two overs. Both players, as well as a number of those not in the hand, went to the rail to watch the runout. Alshanti and Tamas Lendvai stood with their arms around one another's shoulder.
The 
flop gave him even more outs with the nut flush draw. The 
on the turn was of no help. With the rail getting rowdy and pleading for a diamond, the river came the 
, sending the rail into pandemonium. "Dooley! Dooley! Dooley!" chants were heard, Alshanti's nickname.
Tamir Saidman was eliminated in 8th place for a cash of $35,964.

After Jon Van Fleet opened to 1,600,000 from late position, action folded to Abdullah Alshanti in the big blind. He moved all in for 6,000,000, and Van Fleet made the call.
Abdullah Alshanti: 
Jon Van Fleet: 
Alshanti went to the rail to sweat the runout with his supporters. The runout was kind to him, as the board came 
, and Van Fleet failed to connect with either of his over cards. Alshanti scooped the pot, doubling his stack

Tsuf Saltsberg opened from under the gun for 1,600,000. Tamas Lendvai moved all in for 5,000,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back around to Saltsberg, who snap called, threw his cards on the table, and ran to the rail to celebrate.
Tamas Lendvai: 
Tsuf Saltsberg: 
Saltsberg didn't even bother to see Lendvai's cards before leaving the table, and after the 
runout resulted in a chop, the table had a good laugh about the reaction before returning to play.

Level 37
: 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
John Ypma found himself all in before a card was dealt, as he was in the big blind with just 400,000. Action folded around to Tamas Lendvai in the cutoff, who put in 800,000. Frank Reichel, the button, called.
Lendvai and Reichel checked through the 
flop and the 
turn, before Reichel fired for 1,000,000 on the 
river. Lendvai folded.
"Tell me 10 high is good," Ypma said as they tabled their hands.
John Ypma: 
Frank Reichel: 
Ten high was not good, and Ypma was eliminated. After a trip of goodbyes and good lucks around the table, he headed to the payout desk, where he'll earn $28,129 for his 9th place finish, the biggest live cash of his career.

John Ypma raised from middle position to 1,600,000. Tsuf Saltsberg moved all in from the hijack for 14,500,000. Ypma went deep into the tank before calling, slightly covering Saltsberg.
Tsuf Saltsberg:
John Ypma:
It was a huge flip Ypma called for his one time. However, it didn't come as the board ran out king-high 
leaving Ypma with less than a big blind and giving Saltsburg a massive double up.

Daniel Marcus opened to 1,200,000 from the cutoff, getting calls from Jon Van Fleet, the small blind, and Alex Jim, the big blind.
