Today is the day. After three grueling starting flights that saw a grand total of 1,032 entrants, the final nine are all that's left. One of these nine men will earn the distinction of winning the first World Series of Poker Circuit Main Event ever held in Canada which also happens to be Canada's largest live cash buy in tournament ever. The man closest to completing that task is chip leader Sonny Sekhon who will bring to the table a stack of 4.66 million.
Day 3 saw the shortest day of poker for this historic tournament as 30 players returned to the felt to play down to the final nine. Players such as Day 1a Norman Overdijk, Kevin Huang, David Lim, David Pecaski, Mark Potovsky, Lawrence Iampen, and Steven Schartner all returned to play for Day 3 but saw their demise before the end of the day.
Once the field reached ten remaining players, the final ten combined for the unofficial final table. The final table bubble popped relatively quickly, as short stacked Seth Maretz moved all in before the flop with pocket fours only to be snapped off by Michael Collins from the next seat over with 
. The board was of no help to Maretz and his elimination confirmed our official final table.
