Welcome to Day 3 of PokerStars.com EPT London

Just 113 players remain going into the third day of the main event here in the Grosvenor Victoria casino on Edgeware Road. There's £700,000 for first place but 17 players will be going home today with nothing, not even making the min-cash of £8,000 for a 96th place finish.

Mantas Visockis is the chip leader at the moment, being one of only two players over the 500,000 mark but there's still several former EPT champions and Team PokerStars Pros in the event.

Today we have the drama of the bubble which should take place in the first couple of levels. We're not sure just yet as to how many levels we will be playing today, but they're all 90 minutes long from now on.

Play is scheduled to get underway shortly.

Level: 15

Blinds: 1,500/3,000

Benger Hits the Showers First on Day 3

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Griffin Benger was the first player to hit the rail today after a hand that seemed like a set up.

For starters, he was the shortest starting stack at his table and was unlucky to be drawn in the big blind. Secondly, the second shortest stack (Stefan Bormann) shoved into him from the cut-off which one would expect with a wide range of hands. Get this then: Benger looked down at pocket sevens and made an easy call all in only for Bormann to open aces! How does that happen?

The board ran king high and Benger has to contend with sightseeing until he flies back across the pond.

A Plaus for Farrell

[user76023]
[user76023]
Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Niall Farrell has knocked out Aleh Plauski, the latter having made a big move preflop with {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} but found himself dominated by Farrell's {A-Spades}{K-Spades}.

Plauski looked to have got very lucky on the {2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop but the {Q-Hearts} turn, combined with the {J-Clubs} river backdoored Farrell into a straight for a 300,000-plus pot.

A short-stacked Rob Akery has also been eliminated.

Blom Crushes Luske's Dreams

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Marcel Luske

"How many times can this happen in a tournament?" Team PokerStars Pro Marcel Luske asked himself after he just lost a massive pot to Full Tilt's Professional Viktor Blom.

Luske was just very, very unlucky and looked more devastated then we've ever seen the jolly Dutchman.

The action started with a raise to 6,000 from middle position and Blom three-bet to 17,600 from small blind. Luske sat in the big blind and quickly four-bet to 42,700. The initial raiser folded his cards, Blom peeked down at his and moved all in. Luske snap-called.

Marcel Luske: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}
Viktor Blom: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

The board ran out {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Spades} and Luske was left behind with just 27,600 chips. Blom sat in silence as the dealer pushed him a huge pot which puts him on roughly twice the average stack.

Clicking Buttons

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Giuseppe Sammartino opened to 6,000 from under the gun, Philipp Gruissem three-bet to 13,500 from the hijack seat, Adam Levy cold four-bet to 27,500 from the cutoff, and the button and both blinds released. Sammartino spun his cards into the muck as well, and the action was back on Gruissem.

"You have about 80 [thousand chips] left, right?" he asked Levy.

Levy nodded.

Gruissem tanked for 90 seconds or so then clicked it back, making it 41,500. Levy instantly mucked, and Gruissem picked up the pot.
