The money bubble will burst on Day 3 of the Merit Poker Dolce Vita Series $2,200 La Notte Degli Assi.
Just 210 players out of a packed field of 1,133 return once action resumes at noon local time inside the Merit Crystal Cove Hotel and Casino. Ermanno Pacini of Italy is the current chip leader with 1,697,000, followed by Guillermo Gordo (1,538,000), Asaf Groofi (1,435,000), and Iraklis Manikaros (1,329,000).

The first order of business on Day 3 will be to burst the bubble. Only the top 134 players will make the money, so dozens of players will have made it this far but leave with nothing. The official prize pool will be announced shortly after play begins.
The action picks up on Level 18 at 4,000/8,000 with an 8,000 big blind ante. The average stack is still nearly 70 big blinds at the start of the day, so there is still plenty of room for maneuvering and setting yourself up for a run at the title.
Stay tuned as PokerNews provides all the live action throughout the day.
