It appears the 40+ players remaining in the field have suddenly discovered that they're playing for a payday in excess of $1,000,000, because the breakneck pace of Day 3's early levels is grinding to a halt.
Hands are being contested with pot-control bets, and players seem reluctant to risk their tournament life in marginal spots. After losing over 100 players during the day's first two levels, the remaining runners have settled in for a long march to the first ever WSOP "Millionaire Maker" final table.

Russell Crane opened for 32,000 from middle position, and an opponent three-bet to 85,000 from the button. Crane liked his hand enough to move all-in for 292,000, and the button player called him down.
Showdown:
Crane: 
Opponent: 
As is so often the case late in tournaments, the two were racing a pocket pair against overcards. A flop of 
meant Crane's eights had held through the hardest part, and blanks on the turn and river secured a much needed double.

After finding 
in the hole, Keon Sample made his stand and pushed all-in for his last 200,000 or so chips. The action folded around to Tam Truong in the big blind, who looked down and squeezed his cards, before instantly announcing a call. The speed with which he committed the chips signaled the strength of Truong's hand, and indeed he rolled over 
.
When the flop came 
, the final streets were simply a formality, and Sample's hopes of becoming a WSOP-minted millionaire came to an abrupt end.

Mike Carroll, who made his bones during a deep run in the 2008 WSOP Main Event, has been patiently working the short stack all day, and he recently earned another double to keep his million dollar dreams alive.
Carroll shipped preflop with his 
and was called by Lee Flemming, who held .
Ace high had Carroll in the lead, but Flemming's live cards made it anybody's guess who would claim the chips up for grabs.
When the flop fell 
, however, Carroll's position improved dramatically. The 
turn did give Flemming a chance to suckout, but no runner-runner straights could be made with the river.

With 37 runners remaining in the WSOP's first ever "Millionaire Maker" event, the next elimination will guarantee the final 36 players a payday of at least $32,882, while the 37th place finisher will earn $26,631.
The jump of over $6,000 may seem insignificant in relation to the $1,000,000+ payday, but for many of the amateurs still competing today, this extra money means mortgage payments, vacations, and maybe even another WSOP tourney.
Expectedly, the familiar refrain of "All-In, table..." voiced regularly by dealers has been heard less often of late, as everyone in the room tries to avoid becoming the next pay jump bubble boy.
