Day 3 of Event #38: $1,500 Monster Stack No-Limit Hold'em has concluded here at the Horseshoe Las Vegas after ten levels of play. Of the 416 runners who started the day, only 55 players will return for Day 4, all of whom have locked up at least $21,025, of the $11,619,840 prizepool.
After three days of poker, less than one percent of the field is left standing from the 8,704 entrants that began on Day 1. The remaining competitors all have their eyes on the $1,098,220 first-place prize, as well as the coveted World Series of Poker (WSOP) gold bracelet.
The chip leader heading into the start of Day 4 is Martin Kabrhel (24,425,000), who is fresh off a tenth place finish in Event #39: $50,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em. Kabrhel will be looking to close this one out and capture his third WSOP bracelet.

Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Maxwell Young raised to 500,000 at the cutoff. After the button folded, Joseph Alban made a small three-bet of 1,150,000 out of the small blind.
The player in the big blind folded, and action returned to Young, who moved all in for his remaining stack.
Alban went in the tank, and then asked the dealer for a count, which was confirmed as 5,885,000.
Alban then reached down to his card protector, a toy car. He wound it up and let it go, allowing it to race across the felt into Young��s all-in stack, which was directly in front of Young.
��Is that a call?�� Young asked.
��Yes,�� Alban replied.
The cards were then tabled, with Young at risk.
Maxwell Young: A?Q? 
Joseph Alban: K?K?
Alban��s hand appeared to surprise Young, as he watched the dealer fan J?10?Q? on the flop. The 7? on the turn kept Alban in the lead, and 10? on the river ended Young��s tournament.
Young, however, had to ask a final question as he packed his belongings.
��Did you mean to slow roll me or were you really worried I had aces?�� Young asked across the table to Alban.
Alban didn��t respond.

The flop came Q?8?3? and both players were quick to check.
While the turn peeled the 2? Crego checked his action. Bansal fired for 900,000 and Crego was quick to muck his cards.

Robert Bickley:?Q?Q??
Gregory Jensen:?10?10?
Bickley was relieved when his queens held on 4?5?4?2?5? to make him double up.
