The March to the MCOP Final Table Begins - Carrel Sits Comfortably
Day 3 of the 2016 Master Classics of Poker Main Event is upon us. The remaining 53 players are all in the money after a two-hour long bubble late last night. Johan van Til was the last to go home empty-handed, the remaining players are guaranteed to bank a minimum of €7,895.
He entered five tournaments at the 2016 Master Classics of Poker and cashes in all five of them. Charlie Carrel, after having already cashed in the €1,250 and €1,500 events and both the €10,000 High Roller and €25,000 Super High Roller, leads the Main Event with a massive stack, over 400,000 more than his closest competitor; Jan Bendik who sits in second place.
Another player that always seems to do well at the Master Classics of Poker, is Jussi Nevanlinna. He finished runner-up in 2011 for €227,850, fifth for €71,985 in 2014, and outright won the event for €300,000 last year. He's a medium stack coming into Day 3, he still can go back to back!
Play resumes at 2pm local time (in about 2 hours) and the plan is to play down to a final table of nine players today. Level 17, while already almost fully played last night, will be restarted so blinds will be 2,500/5,000 (500-ante) again when play starts.
