Rrrrrroouunnd 3!

Good afternoon and welcome back to the Casino at the Empire, where our 32 remaining £10,000 Heads-Up hopefuls will shortly be starting the first of the three rounds that will get us down to a semi-final.

Yesterday we lost Phil Hellmuth, John Juanda and Tom Dwan, among others. Still in the field, though, are Phil Ivey, Daniel Negreanu and Neil Channing. Today might be a long one - our three rounds are due to start at 3pm, 7pm and 11pm but it wouldn't surprise us if we ran over - but by golly, as they say, it's going to be a good one.

The Round 3 seat draw looks like so; we'll be back at 3pm.
