Welcome to Day 3, the Money Day
It's Day 3 of the PokerStars Championship Prague Main Event and things will be kicked off with a special announcement by tour organizer PokerStars. There have been rumors floating around for months now, but we will only know for sure as soon as James Hartigan. Joe Stapleton, and Daniel Negreanu take to the comms and spill the beans.
While that may be something big about future events, here in Prague it's all about the now. It's Day 3, the money looms, the tension rises, things are getting real. 140 players remain of the 855 that signed up. 127 are making the money, €8,700 awaits everyone but 13 unlucky souls.
Play gets underway at noon local time, in about 90 minutes from now. The plan for the day is to play 5 levels of 90 minutes each. After every level, a 20-minute break commences for the players.
