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.
