After three long days of play, Dan Heimiller bested the field to win the WSOPC gold ring, $117,300, and seat to the National Championship.
To begin Day 3, 21 players returned and after only two levels of crazy action the field was trimmed to an unofficial final table of 10 players. Kathy Liebert, Jason Stanford, Kenny Nguyen, and Aaron Kerns missed the final table but still earned decent payouts.
Kevin Davis was the first player eliminated from the official final table. Davis moved all of his chips in the middle on a board reading 
against Jonathan Taylor, who called. Davis, holding 
, was behind Taylor's 
. Davis needed help on the river, but didn't get it because an ace fell, giving Taylor two pair and the knockout.

and Furey was sent to the payout desk.
Less than an orbit later, Taylor earned another elimination by taking out Joseph Worth in seventh place. Worth open-shoved with and Taylor, who held the better , made the call. Taylor flopped an insurmountable lead when it came 
. The turn and river fell

Sixty minutes ticked off the clock before Dan Heimiller eliminated Ki Kim sixth place. Kim was short stacked and moved in preflop with 
. Heimiller called and tabled 
. The board ran out 
, sending Kim away from the tournament area.
During most of five-handed play, Taylor held half of the chips in play and looked to be on cruise control to a heads-up match. Heimiller took the lead from Taylor after a hand with Sean Winter.
Winter opened for a min-raise on the button, then Heimiller, in the small blind, bumped it up to 120,000. Winter called and the flop came 
. Heimiller led out for 150,000 and Winter flat-called. The turn brought the and Heimiller bet 250,000. Winter called and the 
fell on the river. Heimiller checked and Winter moved all in for just over 700,000. Heimiller took a few minutes before he made the call. Heimiller flipped over 
and Winter slumped in his seat then flashed 
before chucking his cards in the muck.
Shortly after the dinner break, Tim Chang was eliminated in fourth place. It happened after Chad Eveslage opened for a min-raise and Tim Chang moved all in from the big blind. Eveslage called and tabled . He was up against Chang’s pocket nines, but an ace hit the flop giving Eveslage the lead. Chang didn't find any help on the subsequent streets and was eliminated in fourth place.
Two hands later, action folded to Eveslage who opened from the small blind. Heimiller called from the big blind and the flop fell 
. Eveslage bet, Heimiller raised, and Eveslage three-bet shoved. Heimiller called with 
and Eveslage tabled 
. The board completed with the

Taylor min-raised on the button, Heimiller raised to 180,000, and Taylor slid out 500,000. Heimiller shoved and Taylor called with 
. Heimiller was ahead with and kept the lead as the board ran out
