Plan for Day 3
Day 3 will begin downstairs in the casino instead of on the first floor like the rest of the event. Blinds will begin at Level 21 (10,000/20,000) and increase every 45 minutes.
The plan initially is to play down to a final table of nine players. Depending on how fast this takes, it is possible that play will continue down to six players and it is even possible a winner will be crowned today. This is entirely at the discretion of the tournament director and event organizers and PokerNews will update during our coverage today.
Remaining Payouts
The 31 returning players are each guaranteed at least a €1,800 payout with the eventual winner going home with a massive €59,000 payday for their €550 buy-in.
