The players took a 45-minute dinner break over the past hour but return now with Jonathan Tamayo holding $1,173,000, Frank Gary $649,000 and Nick Binger $371,000.

The bracelet is within reach for all three as the blinds are now at the astronomical Level 23 and they're going to have to get it in one way or another. Enjoy the ride kids!

Nick Binger started the past hour by giving away his chip lead.

He played a monster pot with Frank Gary in Limit and after betting on every street, Binger was forced to fold after the A river completed a flush draw and Gary led out. The loss put Jonathan Tamayo into the lead but that didn't last.

Binger got into it with Tamayo a few hands later after Tamayo called his $50k pre flop raise.

Binger continued betting after the 9 7 3 and Tamayo flatted. The 9 turn slowed down Binger slightly. He checked, Tamayo bet and he called. The same scenario played out on the 10 river, but when the cards were revealed Binger's 10-8 was enough to drag the pot from Tamayo and his 10-6. It was also enough to give Binger back the chip lead.

Binger went on to win about five hands in a row before Tamayo struck back getting Binger to pay him off when he hit a flush on the river with four hearts on the board.

Tamayo then took the lead before the biggest hand of the three-handed affair played out.

This time Binger clashed with the relatively quiet Frank Gary getting into a pre flop raising war with Gary until his last $300k was in the middle.

It was kings for Gary against the unthinkable 9 2 for Binger and when the inevitable happened and Gary dragged the pot, Binger was left staring up at both his opponents.

Tamayo had over $1 million in chips, Gary $600k and Binger was down to around $500,000.

Gary and Binger got into it again in the very next hand when Gary pushed all in on a J 10 3 2 board leaving Binger suddenly in the unenviable position of making a decision for his tournament life.

He laid it down and dipped to $435,000 in chips. Gary now has $717,000 and Tamayo $1,041,000.
