Webjoker

In a little under an hour, Day 3 of the Master Classics of Poker 2017 Main Event gets underway. 39 players remain, all guaranteed a payday of €8,577. Late last night, the bubble burst as Joris Ruijs hit the rail after losing most of his chips with ace-king to kings. Now, the quest for the Final Table starts. At the end of the day, a final table of 9 should be formed.

When the players return, blinds will be at 2,500 and 5,000 with a 500-ante. Levels are, again, 75 minutes long. Ukrainian player Igor Yaroshevskyy leads, with Lars Bonding in 2nd. John Juanda, Ben Heath, Noah Boeken, and Dutch tv host Alberto Stegeman are just some of the big names still in contention.
