It is the beginning of Day 3 of the PokerStars EPT German Open in Dortmund and the air is filled with excitement. 32 players remain, all already guaranteed a payday. Last night's sounds of relief and disappointment have been replaced by a quiet determination, and soon, the clacking of the chips will resume as the remaining players battle it out for a seat at Saturday's final table.

Diego Perez from Spain is in the lead with 361k in front of Canadian Michael McDonald, who is well known online as “Timex”. Claudio Rinaldi is in third, just ahead of Marco Liesy in fourth. Many eyes are going to be on the Dutch ace Marcel Luske and also on top American player Brandon Schaefer.

This is the top 10 so far:

Diego Perez 361600
Michael "Timex" McDonald 335700
Claudio Rinaldi 278700
Marco Liesy 278200
Johannes Strassmann 276400
Aniol Alcaraz 216200
Brandon Schaefer 202300
Andreas Gülünay 201100
Jan Heitmann 200400
Manfred Hammer 135300
