Davidi Kitai ends the day as the probable chip leader with roughly 540,000. Probable is the operative word however, as the chip lead changed multiple times in the last level of play, with a clear leader being too close to call. Team Pokerstars pro Chad Brown is toward the top of the leaderboard with 235,000, as are Jason Mercier and Dren Ukella, both with over 340,000.
The action continues tomorrow when the remaining 36 players duke it out for the eight spots on Sunday's final table. Action begins as 3:00pm local time and with such a small field, we do expect an on-time start. We hope you'll join us for all the Day 3 action as the money gets bigger and the action is sure to follow.
As always, official chip counts will be posted when they become available. Goodnight from Barcelona!

The board ran out
and our last lady standing was eliminated to applause from her flock of railbirds.
The saw the
flop heads up and Ruthenberg checked. Flowers led out for 16,500 and after a couple minutes of thought, Ruthenberg declared himself all in. Flowers shook his head and quickly flashed 
to the table as he mucked it.

With

, Khan was looking good to take out an opponent... that was until the board came 
.Down to 40,000, Hafiz found the bullets for a second time, and again he was in splendid shape as he took on Raoul Refos'
. But of course, the Poker Gods work in mysterious ways, and a 
board later he was gone."It's a skill game," as Rolf Slotboom would sarcastically say.
