Day 3 of the World Series of Poker Circuit Caesars Atlantic City Main Event is set to begin in just a few minutes. Before the day is over one lucky player will earn an invite to the million dollar freeroll at the National Championship, a WSOPC gold ring and $191,194 to boot. The field was trimmed to 22 players at the end of Day 2 and a final table should only be a few levels away.
Leading the field is Ryan Higgins with the only seven-figure chip count in the field (1.477 million). But the field isn't far behind with Aaron Overton (955,000) and Justin Liberto (893,000) lurking. Notables Josh Brikis, Garry Gates, Roland Israel, Edward Pham and Tyler Kenney all hope to make this day their own as well.
The final table will be streaming live on WSOP.com and follow all the action live on Pokernews.com.
