The Final Sixteen Start at Noon Local Time
The field of 889 has been reduced to just 16 players and Kyle McCague is on top of the leaderboard as the only player with more than three million chips. A lot of the eyes from the community will be focused on Jasper 'Oemtoeoemtoe' van der Veen as the last remaining hope from the community. Van der Veen was the chip leader in the tournament at one point but he ended up bagging nearly half of what he had in front of him on the bubble. Van der Veen will start the day with 615,000 which is about 12 big blinds.
Carl Von Dobeln (2,750,000), Thomas Lewis (2,460,000), Cristian-Gicu Stanciu (2,850,000), Halil Gecaj (2,180,000), and Claudiu Florin (2,145,000) are all below McCague on the leaderboard, but they all have over two million in chips and have great position to win the first place prize of £31,257. All are already guaranteed £1,600. The ones that are also still fighting for first are Velentin Ehmlin (1,650,000), Steve Berto (1,600,000), Stephen O'Keeffe (1,435,000), and Jason Glampson (1,190,000).
The ones with less than a million and a little more work to do today are Atanas Pavlov (970,000), Robert Hutchinson (820,000), Omar Al Kaisy (595,000), and Xiaohe Tan (60,000). Tan will start the day with little over one big blind and the draw for the button will be very important for her.
The tournament restart in level 25 with blinds at 25,000/50,000 and a 50,000 big blind ante and the levels are 40-minutes just like on Day 2. The tournament will be live-streamed on Lex Veldhuis's Twitch channel, but you can also find it at the top of this page. The updates by PokerNews will be delayed as well so there will be no spoilers.
Make sure to keep an eye on PokerNews for the latest updates as they play down to a winner.
