Around 9 PM EST after a five hour third session, durrrr and Antonius called it quits for the day. Antonius had earlier claimed that he was going to sleep much earlier, but he evidently wanted to keep playing and so he stayed up even when he was quite tired. This chat occurred just after the session ended:
Patrik Antonius: im done
durrrr: nice win, gg
durrrr: wanna try to play tomorrow?
Patrik Antonius: ty gg
Patrik Antonius: i’ll sleep maybe 12 hours now

Therefore, it appears that Patrik has taken the lead after 2,921 hands (50,000 total to be played) with around $56,779 in winnings. After the second session, durrrr was up around $171k, so Patrik was able to pull out a $228k win over this 5 hour-long third session. This represents the biggest single session win of the challenge thus far.
