Main Event Day 3 | 2015 World Poker Tour Amsterdam

Day 3 is of the World Poker Tour is the day the first checks are getting handed out, and WPT Amsterdam is no exception. With just 65 players remaining, and 45 in the money, the money stage of the tournament will be reached rather quickly. 20 unfortunate souls will departure empty handed though, so expect some drama early on. Because the money bubble is rather big (€6,000), some players may opt a tight and cautious approach, while others will try to thrive in the levels before the money to expand their stacks.

Chip leader going in is Dutch pro Joep "pappe_ruk" van den Bijgaart with 438,000 in chips. The first level on the schedule is 1,500/3,000 with a 500 ante, so the Dutchman starts out with 146 big blinds. Fredrik Andersson (412,000) is close on his heels, Barrie Pietersz follows in third with 367,500 in chips.

The absolute short stack going in is Lawrence Andreys (17,000), while Dutch regular Dennis Lavrijsen with 26,500 has his work cut out for him as well.

The action will start in Holland Casino Amsterdam at 2pm (in about 2 hours), and levels will be once again 90 minutes long. Expect another long day of poker action, but its up to tournament director Christian Scalzi to decide how long exactly. PokerNews will again be your place for all the updates you can ask for, so check back in two hours!
