That's All for Day 3
It was a bloodbath early on as 20 players failed to make it out of the first 90-minute level alive. More than a dozen fell during the next round as the money approached, including a whole laundry list of notable pros. Some of those who would make Day 3 but fail to earn a payday included Gavin Smith, Al Riccobono, Tyson Marks, Tim "tmay420" West, James Honeybone, Frank "gator93" Hernandez, Susie "SusieQue" Moncek, and David "Doc Sands" Sands. Also falling by the wayside were Team UB Pros Scott Ian, Shawn Rice, and -- much to his disgruntlement -- Phil Hellmuth.
On the flip side of things, Robert Mizrachi came into this third day with the chip lead, and there would be no changing that today. The only movement from Mizrachi was upwards, and he's stuffed his chip bag with 743,500 technicolor chips. That's good enough to make him the clear favorite going forward, leading the field by a cavernous margin with two days of play left.
The 36 who remain will come back for Day 4 tomorrow at noon, and things will be a little different in the tournament room. We'll be six-handed from here on out, so the action should be plentiful. Until then, goodnight from Aruba.
