Day 3 of the 2020 WCOOP Low NLHE Main Event Begins at 1:05 p.m. EDT
Welcome to the penultimate day of the 2020 WCOOP Low $55 NLHE Main Event at PokerStars.
The tournament thus far has been a huge success with 38,660 entrants generating a massive $1,933,000 to decimate the $1,250,000 guarantee slapped on the event.
Day 3 begins today at 1:05 p.m. EDT / 7:05 p.m. CEST with just 158 players remaining, each guaranteed at least a $1,017 payout whether they show up or not.
The action will resume where they left off last night at Level 44 with blinds at 80,000/160,000 with an ante of 20,000 and increase every 20 minutes. The day will conclude once the field has been further whittled down to just a nine-max final table for tomorrow's climatic conclusion.
Hungary's "benton24" will begin Day 2 with a chip lead stack of 21,233,809 in chips. This player wasn't the only one waving the Hungarian flag that will head to Day 3 with a big stack as both "anth0nypappa" and Day 1 chip leader "uzzy993" will start today with top ten stacks.
Other players near the top of the leaderboard to start today are Romania's Alexandru "JustPray" Marcu, Brazil's "JuLiOcTas", and Indonesia's Akira "Clutch Hero" Ohyama.
