Time to Crown a Winner
Day 3 of the 2012-13 World Series of Poker Circuit Event - Choctaw Durant Main Event will begin in 30 minutes or so, and leading the remaining 15 players is Circuit regular Jeff Fielder. Fielder, who already owns one WSOP-C gold ring, bagged over 3.2 million chips upon the completion of Day 2. He is looking to best his previous largest score of $67,422, which he earned for finishing 92nd in the 2010 WSOP Main Event.
Drazen Ilich enters the third and final day sixth in chips with 1.7 million. Ilich is a two-time ring winner, and if he finishes fourth or higher then he will became the casino champion for Choctaw Durant. The current leader is Andrew Robinson, though Event #12 is yet to be determined.
There are two females still standing. Brenda Bassett, who lost a big chunk of her stack during the last level of play, and Krissi McFarland, who bagged just over one million chips. No female has ever won a WSOP-C Main Event, so Bassett and McFarland are looking to make history.
The action is set to kick off at 12:00 p.m. CST. Make sure to stay tuned to PokerNews for all of your live, upt-to-the-minutes updates straight from the tournament floor.
