2011 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event Day 3: Max Silver Leads The Way
At the end of Day 3 of the 2011 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event, 25 players remained. The tournament team set a very optimistic challenge on Tuesday: to reduce the playing field from 116 to 16 by the end of the day. As play crept into the early hours of the morning, a decision was made to stop the day at the end of Level 19 with 25 players remaining.

The stage is set for another demonstration by Eric "Seiborg" Seidel, the human poker machine. Max Silver is an ok player.
