Play has been slow since three-handed began, perhaps because Will Molson, the chip leader, is determined to win this event. After all he's finished runner up in the $25,000 PCA High Roller event two years in a row.
In 2009 he finished second to Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier and in 2010 William Reynolds bested him heads-up. The two second place finishes were nothing to sneeze at however; he banked over $550,000 in the two tournaments.
