Day 3 is the day the money bubble bursts with 81 places getting paid a minimum of €2,000. Once they are through that barrier the ultimate prize will be first place prize money of €140,000.Second place will receive €94,500 with third getting €61,000.

A total of 101 players return to resume battle today. There were a total of 682 entrants comprised of 583 unique entrants and 99 re-buys.

Dadon An Early Faller

[user252447]

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

There are plenty of short stacks in the room so there is likely to be a flurry of bust outs early on.

One of the early victims was Benjamin Dadon who got it all in with looking to double up. Unfortunately for him he ran into Amir Israel who tabled with an apologetic shrug.

The cards fell and barely five minutes into the day Dadon was gone.

Aces Again

[user252447]

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Alexandre Pereira Gama opened the action for 12,000 and faced a three-bet to 29,000 from the player to his left, Choua Sitbon. It folded back round to Gama who moved all in for 74,500 total. Sitbon thought long and hard about his decision as it was for nearly half of his stack. In the end he said call.

Gama turned over and, although reluctant to turn over his own cards until prompted by the dealer, Sitbon showed his .

The board ran out to give Gama a double up.

Alexandre Pereira Gama	150,000	75,500

Flurry Of Exits

[user252447]

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Down to 90 already as the bubble approaches. 81 get paid.

Laurent Polito's table has just broken, scattering them to the remaining tables, which will be a relief for those at his old table, not so much for his new table mates.

Koskas Challenges Polito

[user252447]

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Having the chip leader on your left is not ideal but that is the situation Jonathan Koskas finds himself in. Koskas raised and got a call from Laurent Polito. It was heads up to a flop of .

Koskas made a bet of 14,000 and faced a raise from Polito, who gave him a sceptical look, to 31,000. Koskas responded by moving all in and Polito released his hand.
