![[user250068]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Welcome to Day 3 of Event #44: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em. Today is the day a champion will be crowned, earning $592,684 and a gold bracelet for his efforts. Before that happens though, there is still plenty of play left for the 22 remaining players.
Niall Farrell (792,000) will be the chip leader to start the day and is followed closely by Michael Rocco (780,000). Both of them maintained their big stacks and used them to their advantage for most of Day 2. While Farrell and Rocco might have the big stacks, all eyes are on Jason Mercier (566,000) who is sitting on an above average stack and looking for his first final table of the summer.
Play will resume at 1 p.m. local time in the Amazon Room. As always, keep it here on PokerNews for continuing live coverage from the tournament floor including hand-for-hand coverage of the final table.
