Day 3 Action

The action was thick and fast at the beginning of the day with many players busting early doors including online grinder Ami "UhhMee" Barer and "$eT4x4" who came back as a top five stack today.

During level 36 (80,000/160,000/20,000) the action heated up with the field reducing from 24 to 12 in this 20 minute level alone. Miguel "CambadaDeMixos" Lopes came into day 3 third in chips but busted in 22nd ($15,742) when his shove got called by the eventual chip leader. Online crusher Simon "C. Darwin2" Mattsson also fell this level, in 20th ($15,742) when three-bet all-in but walked into the monster of "TiberiusA"

"luckyluck653" was the unfortunate final table bubble when his ace-queen couldn't outdraw the aces of "BernardoDG" and he bowed out in 10th for a payday of $31,485.

The final 9 players will be back tomorrow, 9 November, at 17:30 GMT and will play down until a winner is crowned. They currently have $44,527 locked up but all will be looking for the top prize of $712,429. Play will resume at 500,000/1,000,000 with an ante of 125,000.
