Day 3 Comes To An End
That's a wrap for Day 3!
When play began several hours ago at noon, 66 remained. A full five levels and 44 eliminations later, only 22 are left to move on to Day 4 here in the 2010 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event. Not only did we lose two-thirds of the returning field, but we also reached the money.
Still remaining are Phil Ivey, Viktor Blom, Hoyt Corkins, Arnaud Mattern and Barny Boatman. They'll all be moving on, but it's Ronald Lee with 947,000 in chips that's going to be the largest stack int her room.
Young Canadian Rudy Blondeau was the unfortunate soul who fell on the bubble after he ran 
into pocket aces. Once he hit the rail to burst the bubble, Mark Thurgood, Darren Woods and Magnus Persson soon followed. They all made it to the money as did Matt Waxman, Freddy Deeb, late arrival today Bryn Kenney and Yevgeniy Timoshenko.
Barry Greenstein was the last elimination we saw on the day and he went out in true bad-beat fashion when his aces were cracked by Daniel Steinberg's pocket tens.
Pay resumes tomorrow at noon here in London and you can bet that it's going to be another great day of poker! We'll see you all then; goodnight.
