Ten levels of poker were not enough to finish Event #46: $10,000 No-Limit Hold��em / Six Handed Championship here on Day 3, so we will return tomorrow at 2:30 p.m. PDT for one final day.
Joe Ebanks and Chris Moorman are currently heads up for the bracelet and $1,158,481. Here's how the stacks look:
| Ebanks | 11,015,000 |
| Moorman | 3,215,000 |
