He will be looking for the same kind of fortunes on Day 3 that begins at 2:00 PM inside the Poker Arena at King's Casino. Kovachev has a mere $29,000 in career live earnings with just three cashes to his name. A win in the Main Event for over €180,000 could go a long way to improving those numbers.

Some other notables joining him include Jan Timo Jobmann (1,443,000), Viliyan Petleshkov (1,423,000), Michael Magalashvili (817,000), Hossein Ensan (690,000), and Brandon Cantu (377,000). Jobmann currently holds the second largest chip stack heading into Day 3 and is also in second place for the Player of the Series race. A final table finish could secure Jobmann the title in that as well.
