From the newly record-setting field, just 14 players are in contention to be crowned the winer of the WPO Bratislava Main Event, with all of them vying to capture the title and €120,000 first-place prize.

Rounding out the top three chip stacks heading into Day 3 are Adrien Guyon (12,075,000) and Vincent Malet (11,625,000). Action resumes at Level 40 with the blinds set at 150,000/300.000 and a 300,000 big blind ante. Levels have also increased to 40-minutes in length.
Day 3 will get underway at 12:30 p.m. CEST and the action wont stop until there is only one player left standing.
