AaronMcBride

Welcome to Day 3 of the partypoker LIVE MILLIONS UK £1,100 Open which gets underway at Noon local time today. The returning 46 players have all locked up a minimum cash worth £4,800 but will have their sights firmly set on a run to the final table and a chance at banking the £180,000 first-place prize.

Andrew Haygarth will sit down with the chip lead after he bagged 56,325,000 last night but is closely followed by Dean Wilson, who bagged 56,200,000. Gordon Huntly (35,550,000), Grant Kinnear (34,700,000), Rory Liffey (34,000,000) and Paul McTaggart (32,875,000) are all in the following pack.

There will also be a rare dynamic in the field today as two brothers will return for Day 3. Austria's Daniel and Armin Rezaei bagged 31,875,000 and 31,300,000 respectively and could bet set to do battle during the day.

Chris Da-Silva (32,700,000), Iaron Lightbourne (23,500,000), Benny Glaser (18,925,000), Andrew Hulme (12,275,000), Jack Sinclair (12,100,000) will also be in action alongside partypoker pros Natalia Breviglieri (6,825,000) and Anatoly Filatov (5,300,000).

Ten 50-minute levels are scheduled to be played today, with a 30-second shot clock in action. Each player will receive six time-bank cards worth 30-seconds each at the start of play. If a player runs out of time before they have acted their hand will be declared dead.

The blinds will start at 200,000/400,000 with a 400,000 button ante in level 23. A 45-minute dinner break is scheduled at the end of level 28.

Join us here at PokerNews from Noon for all the action!
