67 Players Remain for Day 3 of Record-Breaking Seniors Championship
At 11 a.m. local time, Day 2 of Event #31: $1,000 Seniors No-Limit Hold'em Championship will get underway with 67 hopefuls out of a record-breaking field of 5,389 entries remaining. All remaining players have $7,693 locked up already, but all eyes are set on the first-place payout of $617,303 and the elusive gold WSOP bracelet. The largest-ever World Series of Poker Seniors Event created an astonishing prize pool of $4,850,100 to go in the history books of poker.
At the top of the counts is Dan Heimiller with 1,021,000 chips who won this very event in 2014 already and will be aiming to claim his third bracelet. Heimiller is closely followed by Eluterio Rodriguez (983,000) and Paul Spitzberg (859,000), while other notables still in contention include David Michaud (836,000), Gina Bacon (788,000), Anthony Licastro (645,000), Bill Klein (480,000), and Sean Byrne (410,000). Byrne hails from Ireland and cashed in the top 60 in the past three years.
Day 3 will kick off in the Brasilia room with 30 minutes left in Level 21 at blinds of 6,000/12,000 with a running ante of 2,000, and full 10 hours of play or down to the last nine will be played, whichever of the two comes first. The PokerNews live reporting team will be providing all the action from the tables.

Long Tank Pays Off for Timothy Gray
Nível 21
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Timothy Gray opened with a raise to 30,000 from middle position. To his immediate left was Kam Low, who decided to reraise for 92,000. Action folded back to Gray and he fell deep into the tank, where he stayed for several minutes.
"Sorry guys," Gray said a couple minutes into his tank. "I just have to think about this."
Gray stared intently at Low for about 30 seconds before he finally announced that he was all in. Low quickly called.
Gray: 
Low: 
The flop put Gray in the lead when it came 
, but it also gave him a sweat as it brought Low a flush draw. Low bricked out on the 
turn and river though, and Gray earned the double-up.
"Sorry guys, it was just a lot to think about with the pay jump happening," Gray said after the hand. "I mean, it's an extra $1,500, so why not wait?"
And Gray's tank did pay off in more ways than one, not only earning him the double-up, but the payout jump as well.
