Day 3 of the record-breaking Event #32 $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em Seniors Championship is set to begin at 11 a.m. within the Amazon room at the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino with Ronald Bishop (1,086,000), returning as the chip leader after being only one of two players to bag up over a million at the end of Day 2.
Frank Berry (1,017,000) will be his closest challenger out of the returning 101 when play gets underway with Bill Stabler (808,000), Marc Lome (756,000), and Richard Munro (739,000) all in the chasing pack.
The oldest player in the Day 2 field was Andreas Dassopoulos at the age of 83, and he will also be the oldest player to make Day 3 after he progressed with a chip stack of 145,000. Another player who will be back to fight for a place at the final table will be Larry Wright after he built three big blinds into a bag worth 204,000 yesterday.
The field has been cut dramatically over the last two days after a record crowd of 5,919 came together to create a prize pool worth $5,327,100 and a first place prize of $662,983. All returning players are guaranteed a payout of at least $4,345, with just two more eliminations needed before the money jump to $5,063.
The play is scheduled to be completed when a winner is crowned today, but due to the size of the field, it is likely that ten 60-minute levels will be played or down to the final table, whichever comes latest. Blinds will start at 5,000/10,000/1000 ante, and the average chip stack is 29 big blinds. A 15-minute break takes place after every two levels with a 60-minute dinner break after the sixth level at approximately 5:30 p.m.
