"pagan_junior" Leads After Day 3 of WCOOP-91-L with 9 Remaining
After just under 6 hours of play, the returning 160 players are down to just 9 left in WCOOP-91-L: $55 NLHE [8-Max, NLHE Main Event] after two players busted, one from each table, on the final hand before the break. "pagan_junior" wasn't involved in either final hand, but still managed to retain the lead to end the day, despite both the 2nd and 3rd place stacks picking up chips at the end.
"pagan_junior" jumped into the lead later in the day, solidifying the lead with a flopped set of nines against "HI_IH_IH" for nearly 240 million near the end of Level 58. It was "rickiolsen1988" and "Castanella" who spent most of the time battling with them for the lead, and prior to the final few levels of the night, the lead changed hands a few times between the three.
