Welcome to Day 3 of the £1million Guaranteed Grand Prix UK Main Event!
The final day has approached and with players set to return to action at 12.00 noon, we'll be bringing you all the action as we play down to a winner at Dusk Till Dawn casino in Nottingham in the Grand Prix UK Main Event
Stuart Fox has the chip lead with 13,935,000, but Richard King (13,390,000) crushed Day 2d and will be confident of overhauling the big blind difference between the two at the top. On Day 2E, Adam Maxwell got closest to them with an incredible 12,695,000. They are not the only players with high hopes, however as players such as Chao Fan Lei (7,780,000), Robertas Gordonas (7,100,000) and
Timothy Rowland (6,400,000) will all be hoping to get that one big hand to move them into a position of power.
With blinds now switching to 60-minutes until heads-up, where they are halved, play becomes that little bit more stretched where the true essence of poker comes in. Anyone can win from here, and every single player covets the Grand Prix UK trophy and six-figure sum for the top prize.

Start Of The Spin-Up
Level 31
: 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante
Chuck Khuu scraped through yesterday's Day 2E with just over one big blind. He was automatically all-in first hand, with Paul Hamblin raising all-in to isolate with no less than 
.
Khuu's 
was in rough shape, and the 
did nothing to help his chances. The 
on the turn brought Khuu a gutshot draw, with the 
completing his straight. He jumped up out of his seat so quickly he took off.
"Aces cracked first hand!" he yelled jubilantly. How far can he take this spin-up?!

The Battle Continues
Level 31
: 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante
Paul Allen and Adam Maxwell are two local poker professionals, familiar with one another's game not only in tournaments, but also cash games here at Dusk Till Dawn. The two spent most of yesterday butting heads in big pots, and have drawn the same table again today.
It didn't take long for the two of them to begin battling again, with Allen opening Maxwell's big blind to 400,000. Maxwell made the call and the two of them took a 
flop, which they both checked. It went check-check again on the 
turn, with Allen firing a big 1,300,000 bullet on the 
river when checked to once more.
Maxwell immediately let out a chuckle of resignation and went deep into the tank. "Did you make the nut flush, Sheldon?" he asked, referencing Paul Allen's similarity to the Big Bang Theory character Sheldon Cooper. After another 10 seconds or so, Maxwell sighed and flicked in an orange chip to signify a call.
"Nut flush," declared Allen as he tabled 
. Maxwell helicoptered his cards into the muck as Allen dragged a big pot.

Godwin in God-Mode
Level 31
: 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante
Action was folded around to Jono Beck in the cutoff, who shoved all-in, only getting it as far as partypoker player Charlie Godwin on the button. She was all-in for 1,600,000, which was not enough to cover Beck, but enough to set alarm bells off in the blinds, who both folded.
It was a flip; Godwin with the pair of 
, Beck with the overs 
. That was, until the 
flop rolled off, leaving Beck drawing to running kings or running tens. The turn 
was no help at all, and Godwin grabbed herself a much-needed double after the inconsequential river-card.

Baker Flushed Away
Level 32
: 120,000/240,000, 30,000 ante
Matthew Baker has enjoyed a great weekend here at Dusk Till Dawn in Nottignham for the Grand Prix UK Main Event, but he will not make the final.
"A player in early position made it 225,000 to go and the player on the button called," Baker told us on the rail. "I called with nines but then they announced that the UKPC seat bubble had burst, so we were in the top fifty. If I'd waited a few more seconds, I would have moved all-in. The flop came 
and the original raiser made it 400,000. The button raised to 1.1 million and I moved all-in for 1.9m. Both of them called, then checked the 
turn and 
river. The original raiser had so he had the open straight and backdoor nut-flush draw from the flop."
Baker may be out, but he's enjoyed a profitable weekend, having played multiple flights, He cashed for separate amounts of £2,500, £700 and £400 across two Day 2's and today's Day 3, while he also won a £2,200 seat to the UK Poker Championships right here at Dusk Till Dawn too! Not bad for a couple of days work.

Barnett's Done It
Level 32
: 120,000/240,000, 30,000 ante
Matthew Barnett raised to 480,000 from mid position on one of the tables currently playing just six-handed. Adam Maxwell defended from the big blind, and the pair went heads up to a flop of 
. Barnett made a continuation bet to the tune of 425,000, with Maxwell checkraising to 1,100,000, before Barnett shoved for his entire 4,000,000.
Maxwell made the call with 
, which had Barnett's 
drawing to just three outs. Neither the 
turn or river were of any help to Matthew Barnett, who finished 40th for £3,000 as well as a £2,200 UKPC seat.
