Kevin Eyster Leads The Final 11
Welcome back to the snowy mountains here at Black Hawk for the conclusion of the World Series of Poker Circuit Main Event at the Lodge Casino! Yesterday, we whittled 144 players down to just 11, and after nearly 12 hours of play, Kevin Eyster, also known as “1sickdisease” online, leads the way with 1.23 million. It’s not a huge lead though, as there are four players within 200,000 of him.
It’s a stacked field of 11 players, with multiple ring winners still alive. Ashly Butler comes into today 3rd in chips with 1.156 million, and he won a ring in Biloxi last August. Bryan Campanello is one of the short stacks with 393,000, but he may be the hottest player left in the field, as he won a ring here in Black Hawk just 11 days ago.
We also have a pair of ladies who are still vying for the title. Rosie Paules is another member of the millionaire club, as she comes into today with 1.017 million. There’s also Ting Ho, who just won a 6-max reentry WPT prelim event in Atlantic City in January. She will come into today with 677,000.
The action was big and fast yesterday, and we are expecting more of the same today, as over half the field is just one double up away from the chip lead. We are playing down to a winner today, so don’t go anywhere! We here at Pokernews will be bringing you the action all day. Play will get underway in just over half an hour, so make sure you are comfortable, and enjoy our Day 3 coverage!

Campanello Moves In
Level 26
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
It took about three hands for us to get our first all in of the day. Lawrence Blazer raised it up to 50,000 in the hijack, and when it got to Bryan Campanello on the button, he moved all in for his last 380,000. It got back to Blazer, and he spent about 45 seconds thinking before kicking his hand in.
Campanello jumped up to 445,000 after the hand, while Blazer fell to 360,000.

Ting Ho Eliminated in 10th Place ($10,634)
Level 26
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
We didn't catch the hand as it was happening, as we were working on getting photos up of the final table members, but we got filled in on what happened that led to Ting Ho busting just before the official final table.
The board read 
, and Ho and Jonathan Taylor got in a raising war that saw all the money go in. Ho had flopped a monster holding 
, but she was drawing very thin, as Taylor held 
.
Ho could only catch two cards in the deck for a straight flush, but it didn't happen, as the 
hit the river. Taylor took the pot to bump his stack up to 1.7 million, while Ho is the dubious final table bubble girl.
