The Final Table Is Set; That's All For Day Three
The play differed in tempo across the day. We started out with the usual rush of bust-outs that occurs after the bubble has burst, but then things slowed dramatically. The snails pace continued until the final two hours of the day, where we once again had a string of eliminations to bring us up to the final table.
The sole local representative at the final table will be Mark Pagsuyuin. He'll enter the final table seventh in chips with 497,000.
The chipleader Sim Somyung has 1,442,000. His nearest rival is David Hilton with 995,000. Amazingly, two New Zealanders -- Kevin Clark and Phillip Willcocks, possibly the only New Zealanders in the field -- will line up amongst our final nine.
The counts for all remaining players and their seating order around the table are as follows:

Seat 2: Sim Somyung (1,442,000)
