Adios, Day 3

After an action-packed day of poker in Playa Conchal, we're down to our final eight.

The day began with 30 players from as close as Costa Rica to as far as Romania. Team PokerStars Pros Alex Gomes and Maria Mayrinck were sent packing early on, as was wily Tican Rory Graham.

When all was said and done, the day belonged to Sol Bergren, who finished the day atop the leaderboard with 1,327,000 in chips, followed not-so-closely behind by Canadian Eric Levesque.

Players will be drawing for seats tomorrow morning before play starts. Here's how your final eight finished the day, in chip count order:

Sol Bergren - 1,327,000
Eric Levesque - 694,000
Rogelio Pardo - 685,000
Amer Sulaiman - 604,000
Darren Keyes - 672,000
Francis-Nicolas Bouchard - 564,000
Carlos Giron - 400,000
Patrick De Koster - 340,000

Action is scheduled to resume at 12:00 p.m. local time tomorrow afternoon when the remaining eight players battle it out for Costa Rican poker supremacy. Join us then for our continued coverage of the 2009 PokerStars.net LAPT Playa Conchal Main Event.

Until then, from the Paradisus Playa Conchal Resort and Casino, good night and good luck!
