Young Dutchie Constant Rijkenberg did at one point nab the chip lead, but a few rather unfortunate hands towards the end of the day have left him a little less well off. Now Rijkenberg, along with Steven Silverman and David Eldar are all vying for second place at around the 800,000 mark.
There's a fine field still in the running, though -- among those who will be coming back for Day 4 are Benjamin Kang and Sami Kelopuro. Join us here at PokerNews.com tomorrow from 2pm local time, when we'll be playing right down to the coveted final table.

Eldar took lightly to the news, simply shrugging his shoulders as he stacked his new chips -- 840,000 of them in total. After the hand, Rijkenberg dropped to right around 800,000.
