Among the competitors is 94-year-old Samuel Kobrinsky, the event's oldest participant, who humorously attributes his sharpness to "Jack Daniels." With over 70 years of poker experience, Kobrinsky confidently feels at home at the table.

Day 3 will also see familiar faces like Swedish bracelet winner Magnus Edengren, holding 1,700,000 chips, and Greg "Fossilman" Raymer, who secured 615,000 chips. Scott Lazar, a finalist in the Main Event, returns with 530,000 chips, adding to the event's star-studded lineup.

Play will resume tomorrow at 11 a.m. local time with players facing ten levels. Scheduled breaks include a 15-minute recess after every two levels, with a dinner break slated for approximately 5:30 p.m. after Level 17. The action begins at Level 22 with blinds set at 10,000/25,000 and a big blind ante of 25,000.
