Chris Johnson, in the big blind, check-called a bet of 9,200 after the turn on a board of 
. The river paired the board with the , and Johnson checked once more. His opponent bet 13,100, and Johnson asked for a count on his remaining chips. Shortly after getting it, Johnson put his opponent all in for his last 76,000.
The player went deep into the tank, seeming truly torn about the decision. He thought for a few minutes before he finally said "time" to the dealer.
"He called time on himself?" the dealer asked the player in Seat 9.
After the floor was called, the clock was started. With about 10 seconds left in the countdown, the player finally folded. Johnson turned over the 
as he mucked his cards, and the players next to him immediately began negotiating a side bet about what Johnson's mystery card was.

After losing some chips in the previous pot at his table, Ronnie Bardah moved right back to 300,000 after sending a player to the rail on the very next hand.
Action folded to a new player to the table in the cutoff seat, and he raised all in for 21,000. Bardah called from the small blind, then Brian Applebaum folded out of the big blind. Bardah tabled the 
, and his all-in opponent the 
.
The flop, turn and river ran out 
, and Bardah won the pot.
On Bardah's starting day earlier in the 2013 World Series of Poker Main Event, we mentioned how he was working on his fourth consecutive WSOP Main Event cash, having cashed in 2010, 2011 and 2012. If Bardah were to make it to the money this year, he would tie the record for consecutive Main Event cashes held by Chris Bjorin. Bjorin cashed four straight years from 2008-2011.

We just witnessed one of the biggest pots of the tournament so far, and it has left us with a new chip leader. Dick van Luijk is his name.
Action folded to van Luijk who was in middle position. He raised to 7,000. In the next seat over, Dan Murariu reraised to a total of 16,000. Action folded around to an unknown player in the big blind and he four-bet to 39,000. Van Luijk called. Next to act Murariu put in a fifth bet to 96,000. Then the big blind player six-bet jammed all in for a total of 140,300. Both van Luijk and Murariu just called creating a massive pot of just about 450,000.
The flop came down 
and with action still between van Luijk and Murariu for a side pot, both players checked.
The turn was the 
and van Luijk coughed to clear his throat before announcing he was all in. Murariu flashed a hand which we could not see and van Luijk and the big blind player turned up their hands.
Van Luijk:
Big Blind:
Van Luijk had made a flush on the turn and that left the player in the big blind drawing dead to the massive pot. The turn was the but it didn't matter as the big blind had already left his seat. Van Luijk scooped the huge pot and moved above 800,000 chips, making him the clear chip leader of the tournament.
It looks like van Luijk has gathered even more chips in the process of writing this post. He is now north of the 900,000 chip mark.

Tony Gregg came into the day with 254,000, but he was below that marker the entire day. He came back from break with around 120,000, and he had less then that when we saw him get a crucial double up just moments ago.
We walked up to the table as the cards were being revealed in an all-in preflop situation. Gregg's was in great shape against the . Gregg had a small sweat on the flop of , but that kept him out in front. The on the turn meant that a queen and a queen only would bust Gregg. The river did bring paint, but it was the 
, giving Gregg the full double up to 215,000.

Start-of-Day 3 chip leader Mark Kroon paced the field for most of the first two levels, but a new leader emerged just before the second break. Somar Al-Darwich doubled through Kroon moments before the end of the level to snag the pole position.
Mathew Huey is still within striking distance. Huey started the day in Pavilion and was moved into the Amazon Room during the first level of the day. It wasn't long before he picked up aces against Liberto's queens and got max value on a 
board to send Liberto out the door.
Also finding success in the past level was Michael Mizrachi, who climbed to 570,000. Millionaire Maker champ Benny Chen also crossed the 500K mark.
Phil Ivey had an excellent first level on Day 3 but took a dent to a stack when Phil Mader doubled through him at the ESPN stage. Ivey was still holding strong at 235,000 at last count.
Tony Dunst, David Benyamine, Shane Warne and Sam Grafton were among the casualties during Level 12. Grafton was eliminated at a feature table by reigning champ Greg Merson, who is still sitting comfortably with around 200,000 in chips.
The players are filtering out of the tournament area for a 20-minute break. See you back here shortly!

Kroon checked to Al-Darwich who bet, Affleck folded, and Kroon came along to see the turn where he check-called another bet, The river fell the and Kroon checked to Al-Darwich again who bet about 20,000. Kroon raised to 51,800. Somar Al-Darwich reraised to 167,500 and after a few moments, Kroon reraised to 311,800. Darwich went all in for 339,500 and after Kroon asked for a count of how much more it was to call (28,700), he called.
