A Big Day 3 Expected for the Big Event

The PokerNews Live Reporting Team is back in Bell Gardens, California for Day 3 of The Big Event Main Event. The original field of 417 players has been reduced to 68 players, each looking to claim one of the 56-money spots, guaranteeing themselves $7,500. What's more, one of the remaining players will emerge victorious and claim the $500,000 first-place prize.

Leading the charge is Victor Ramdin who finished Day 2 as the massive chip leader 1,070,000 in chips, which is about double his nearest competition. Also in the hunt are Daniel Negreanu, Joe Hachem, Chris DeMaci, Pat Pezzin, Alex Kamberis, Yevgeniy Timoshenko, Amit Makhija, David "ODB" Baker, and David Paredes, among many more.

The plan for the day is to work all the way down until to the final 24. From there, Wednesday will play down from 24 to the final table, which will reconvene and play to a winner on Thursday. Rest assured PokerNews Live Reporting Team is ready to provide you with all the live coverage straight from the tournament floor.

Last-Longer, Anyone?

Daniel Negreanu was loitering around our media table when Joe Hachem came walking in through the double doors with a grin on his face.

"Hey Daniel. You want a last-longer?" Hachem tried. Negreanu just laughed.

"No way, dude. I know you're tough on the short stack. I would need, like, a huge price."

Negreanu and Hachem come into the day with 360,700 and 74,000 chips respectively, and we'll be watching to see who gets the hypothetical best of the last-longer that didn't happen.

Play is set to begin in just a moment.

Townsend Gets Lucky to Double Through Nguyen

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante

Wade Townsend raised to 9,500 from the hijack only to be reraised to 23,400 by Greg Debora in the cutoff. Xuan Nguyen then smooth-called from the small blind and Townsend moved all in for 188,300 total. Debora folded and action was back on Nguyen, who hit the tank for three minutes. A call would constitute most of his chips and that is what he did:

Nguyen: {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Townsend: {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}

Nguyen made a good call but was not reward as the flop fell {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{6-Spades}. Townsend hit his set to take a big lead and remained there as the {10-Diamonds} hit the turn followed by the {3-Clubs} on the river. Townsend doubled on the hand to around 450,000 while Nguyen was left with just 22,000.

Barrile Busts Alves

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante

Bryan Barrile raised to 11,000 only to have Marco Alves move all in for around 80,000. Barrile made the call and the cards were turned up:

Barrile: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}
Alves: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

It was a classic race for Alves' tournament life. The {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{A-Spades} flop thrust Barrile into the lead, and the {J-Hearts} turn and {8-Clubs} river kept him there. Alves made his exit from the tournament just shy of the money.
