Day 3 Wraps

Praz Bansi began the day as the big stack, but a tough table draw sent his chip count spiraling downward in the early going. Bansi recovered quickly, though, and he proceeded to tear through the field for the remainder of the day. He isn't quite at the top of the scoreboard anymore, though, as a new chip leader emerged from a massive pot during the final level.
Justin Bonomo (who'd been chipping up steadily all day) was knocked off in a jaw-dropping confrontation with Harrison Gimbel with less than an hour left in play. In a heads-up pot, Bonomo fired bets on all three streets, committing the rest of his still-sizable stack on the river. Gimbel looked him up and revealed his flopped flush, eliminating Bonomo and surging into the chip lead.
He may have well over two million chips, but there's not much of a gap protecting Gimbel. Matthew Haugmen is less than a half-million chips behind, and danger lurks a bit further down the leaderboard. Bansi is still right there in the mix, and Amanda Baker, Ryan D'Angelo, and Barry Shulman all represent immediate threats to Gimbel's throne.
The remaining 62 players will be back in their seats tomorrow at noon to try and parlay their Day 3 efforts into a deep run. By this time on Saturday, just 24 will be left for the fight to the final table. We'll see you then!
