Observations following another Virtual MPT, the third event of the 2021 season, played on Pokerstars.net on Sunday May 30, 2021.
- RowanB broke a tie with Harv29 to move into sole possession of third place on the all-time win list, with his eighth career victory, trailing only Bigfus and TSS777
- RowanB has held the 9 of spades on the last hand of the last three tournaments that he was won
- Sass's consecutive cash streak ended at three
- The Sealy Cup race tightened up, with Sass's relatively early exit and formerly second place Skiteacher sitting out. Sass remains six points clear of the pack, but six players are within 15 points of second place Harv29
- RowanB closed back to within one cash of Bigfus on the all-time cash list, while Harv29 kept pace with his 28th career cash, one cash behind RowanB in third place
- RowanB finished in the money for the first time this season, continuing his streak as the only player to cash in each MPT season that has included more than one event
- Sionow failed to cash in three straight events in which he has played for the first time in his MPT career
- TSS777 failed to cash in three straight events in which he has played for only the second time in his MPT career
- RowanB climbed into 4th place on the all-time player rating list, as Sionow's season struggles continued and with a rare early exit by Syrorange3042. Solotrombone's recent out of the money finishes also shrank his lead at the top of the standings, though TSS777 failed to make up ground.

- Harv29 moved past TSS777 into fifth place on the all-time list of highest average points per MPT event
- By eliminating Sass in this tournament, TSS777 moved past Betdponies into fourth place on the all-time knockout list
- With three knockouts, RowanB tied his second highest total for players eliminated in a single event (which he has done eight previous times)
- TSS777 knocked another player out of an MPT event for the first time since May, 2014 (in his fifth event played during that stretch)
- Sionow became the 11th player in MPT history to finish in last place in more than one MPT event
