This is Day 3 Signing Off

It took exactly seven levels of poker to whittle today's starting field of 133 down to the final 24, but we managed to get there on the last hand of the night. The action was intense, multilingual, and somewhat smelly as chips were flying around the felt right from the word "go".

It was during the second level of the day that the bubble burst, guaranteeing 104 players a payday upon their exit. A full 70 of them would cash in their stacks today, though nobody's ever really happy to receive that check. Still, they had to be happy to fare better than Team PokerStars Pro Jude Ainsworth and Tristan Clemencon who, among others, made it to today but exited pre-bubble.

When the bags were brought out, Teodor Caraba almost needed to ask for an extra. Courtesy of a few late pots, Caraba amassed a mountain of chips totaling well over 3 million, and that'll be easily good enough to put him atop the pack come Day 4. Other notables still in the mix include Team PokerStars Pros Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier and Peter Eastgate, as well as Mike "Timex" McDonald and Craig Bergeron.

The penultimate day kicks off at high noon local time on Saturday, and we'll be right here to give you all of the action as it unfolds.

Until then, though, au revoir from Deauville.
