Play has gone at a fairly steady pace so far today despite the deep stacks and long levels, as we are just three eliminations from the final table. Jake Liebeskind busted in 16th place, and Anthony Marquez was finished out the $23,300 pay bracket in 15th.

Francisco Fragos, who started the day 2nd in chips, looked poised to double up with pocket kings against pocket jacks, but his opponent flopped quads to bust him in 14th. And lastly, Peter Cross, who final tabled this event in 2022, fell just short this time in 13th place.

The final 12 have $28,080 locked up, and will be playing one more 90-minute level before bagging up tonight. Here is how everyone currently stands, as we get ready for the 6,000/12,000 level.
