"Essa_mania" Leads Final Table of SCOOP-92-L: $109 NLHE [8-Max, Main Event]

After about six hours of play, the final table is now set for SCOOP-92-L: $109 NLHE [8-Max, Main Event], $3M Gtd with "Essa_mania" sitting on a whopping stack of almost 250 million. Their next closest competitor has 228 million, and third place bagged 164 million at the end of the day. The other six players at the final table all have less than 100 million chips.

A total of 159 players survived the first two days of play, so Day 3 was destined to be the end for 150 players at least. By the time they made it to Day 3, all survivors were already guaranteed more than $2,000 on their $109 investment, but that wasn't going to satisfy anyone. With $376,087 up top for the win, all eyes were on the big prize.

Day 3 Action

It took about six hours to play down from the original 159 players who sat down on Day 3 of SCOOP-92-L: $109 NLHE [8-Max, Main Event] to the final table, and none of the big stacks to start the day ended up with chips at the end of it. Start of day chip leader "dammsugarn" busted a few levels in after getting into a huge cooler with queens against aces and ace-king.

The aces won it for "jadedjason" and they busted two players to build a nice stack. They couldn't quite manage to play it to the final table, busting in 13th for $11,751. Kevin "KRab42" Rabichow was one early big stack to survive a bit longer. He made it to 26th place for a bit more than $5,000.

The final day starts Wednesday at 1:05 p.m. eastern time, and they'll play it down to a winner. Stay tuned here at PokerNews for all the action tomorrow.
