We have reached dinner break here on Day 3 of the 2009 WSOP Main Event and while Team Bodog has suffered a couple of casualties, they are still going strong with at least four players still in the tournament.

Leading the way is Bodog Poker pro Justin Bonomo, who has built his stack up from 260,000 earlier today to 360,000 at the dinner break according to his most recent tweet. He is joined by three online qualifiers Ryan Julius, who must've found his lucky outfit because we took some photos and then looked at them later and thought they were the old ones until we realized he's just wearing the same jacket and hat (you gotta do what works, poker players are a supersitious bunch), Jean Yves Desmoort, who survived his featured table excitement and is now seated with the regular folk, Robert Mobley, who is rocking some white Skullcandy headphones (seems to be quite the trend) and Alper Sar.

Falling victim to the whims of the poker gods were Bodog Poker pro Jean Robert Bellande, who had a really up and down day before going out. We also lost Brandy Savage, Robert Voss and Ben Nathanson.

According to the tournament clock, we are down to 1,071 players with two levels remaining, so play should wrap up around 1am. Otherwise known as several hours after we go to sleep and try to continue recovering from last night. The current chip leader is Brian Hanson with notables Bertrand 'ElkY' Grospellier, Sorel Mizzi, Jordan Rich, David Benyamine, Theo Tran and Phil Hellmuth all lurking near the top of the chips counts.

Stay tuned for more 2009 WSOP Main Event live updates.
