Damjan Radanov raised UTG+1 to 1,000,000, and Joe Ebanks moved all in from the hijack for 2,850,000. Chipleader Jeff Trudeau called svb, and Radanov quickly folded.

It is going to take an extra day of action to find our champion in the record-setting Event 15 field. We had 4,529 entries to start, 568 return for Day 2, and 13 still in the hunt after 33 levels of play.

Jeff Trudeau returns for Day 3 with a huge chip lead; 24,375,000 of the 90,000,000 (and change) in play. He is in great position for his first major SHRP Hollywood title but there are 12 others trying to deny him.

Action gets back underway with blinds at 125,000/250,000 with a 250,000 ante and the average stack around 7,000,000 (28 bb).

Cards go back in the air at 3 pm and we will have all the action.
