Some players joining the likes of Joentausta "Naktro91" in Day 3 include Max "goodeh99" Silver, Rob "robc1978" Cowen and Anton "Bomber&Granater" Wigg.

Level 30 Sees Bust Out Bonaza

Just after "ferrostyle" busted in 23nd place, there were five quick fire eliminations which brought Day 2 to a close. Even though the tournament was due to play down to the final 18 players just 17 players remain as "fNx_R" felted "krendipoint" in 18th as they were still in a hand when Joao "Naza114" Vieira exited in 19th place.

After the exit of "ferrostyle", "huevo2000" was the next player to go and then Bjorn "bokkie87" Verbakel finished in 21st place after running their kings into the aces of "wnbgambler". Wigg then ousted "vic_xcite" next with his turned straight thwarting the Swedish player's over pair.
