Day 3 Coming Any Minute Now

[user46392]
[user46392]
Hello and welcome back to the now worryingly familiar confines of the Empire Casino in London's Leicester Square, where we are within minutes of Day 3 kicking off.

92 players survived the Day 2 carnage, but as we only played four levels yesterday, the carnage should be continuing well into today. Ian Munns leads the pack by an enormous margin, but with a bunch of experienced and well-known tournament pros hot on his heels, it's anyone's game yet.

Players are filing in to reclaim their respective chips and the like, and we are expecting play to get underway only slightly later than advertised. Please stand by.

Level: 11

Blinds: 800/1,600

Ante: 200

Ran Good Lately?

[user46392]
[user46392]
Ran Azor seems to have enjoyed an early double up to around 100,000. We're not sure how it happened, but Azor seems to have got it in from early position with {K-Spades} {2-Spades} which spiked a king against a player holding some sort of ace.

Worrying Us Today

[user46392]
[user46392]
Seated at the upstairs feature table, Mr. Elijah Berg seems to have produced some sort of brochure for the occasion -- an apparently professionally produced panoramic montage of photos of his kids has been unfolded and propped up in front of his chips. "Wow, these all your children?" wondered Leo Margets. It seems so.

Off the Chartier

[user46392]
[user46392]
Back to Ran Azor's table, and Mr. Azor raised to 4,700. Michael Duerr called, only for Sam Chartier to push all in for 25,700 total. Azor folded, but after some minutes of silent dwelling, Duerr made the call.

Duerr: {7-?} {7-?}
Chartier: {9-Spades} {9-Diamonds}

Chartier rivered a nine for good measure, and he more than doubled up.

Kim Doubles Through Vilmunen

[user46392]
[user46392]
Jani Vilmunen -- who already won the PLO event this week, lucky chap -- raised to 4,800 form the cutoff. Over to Wooka Kim on the button, who raised all in for frankly not very much. The blinds folded, and then back to Vilmunen, who made the call.

Kim: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}
Vilmunen: {8-Spades} {9-Spades}

Board: a very exciting but ultimately no-change {6-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {K-Clubs}

Expect Fireworks

[user4144]
[user4144]
It might not be November, but when you get the two chip leaders on the same table, there's always the chance for fireworks. For that reason, we'll be keeping a close eye on the feature table where Praz Bansi and monster chip daddy Ian Munns have been drawn in neighbouring seats.

Seat 1: Ian Munns - 526,500
Seat 2: Praz Bansi - 293,200
Seat 3: Andrew Chan - 43,800
Seat 4: Hieu Van La - 103,500
Seat 5: Steve Zolotow - 201,900
Seat 6: Moritz Schmejkal - 83,600
Seat 7: Michael Comer - 12,500
Seat 8: James Keys - 37,700
