Twenty Players Return for Day 3
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8! That's how many games are being played in this $2,500 Mixed Event. Today is Day 3 of the event and 20 players remain spread across three tables. Everyone left is in the money and earning at least $7,585 in prize money.
Entering the day as chip leader will be Nikolai Yakovenko. He is the only player with over 300,000 in chips, sitting on an even 310,000. Matt Vengrin is the man behind him in second place with 276,600. Steve Sung, Kirk Morrison, John D'Agostino, Todd Brunson, Alexander Kravchenko, Jose Barbero and Bill Chen are a bunch of the other names in this high-profile field.
Play resumes today at 3:00 p.m. local time, which is just about 45 minutes from now. The plan is to play until we have a winner. We've already come to terms with the fact that it's going to be a long day so get ready to be here for a while. We'll be bringing the coverage straight from the floor in a short while.
