Cards are in the air! The remaining 31 players are back in Holland Casino Rotterdam to kick off the third day of the Main Event at the 2018 WSOP International Circuit Holland Casino Rotterdam.
Level: 17
Blinds: 2,500/5,000
Ante: 500
Day 3 of the Main Event at the 2018 WSOP International Circuit Holland Casino Rotterdam will start with 31 players left in the field at 1 p.m. The chip leader at the start of the penultimate day of the Main Event is Dutch poker player Sidney Steinmann. Steinmann ended Day 1b close to the top of the leaderboard and is now the overall chip leader in the tournament. He bagged a stack of 498,500 for Day 3 of the Main Event, but he is closely followed by Govert Metaal (470,000) and Jay Oosterbaan (450,000).
A total of 21 players will end up in the money. The 21st place finisher will take home €2,888 and the winner will go home with an impressive €67,766 and of course a piece of WSOP Circuit Jewellery. Plenty of players still have the chance to make a run for it. Brian Kamphorst (283,000), Tobias Peters (255,000), Day 1a chip leader Marco Rodrigues (209,000), High Roller runner-up Kevin Paque (132,000), and Sander van Wesemael (88,000) are all still in the tournament and are hopeful to take down the grand prize.
Valentin Vornicu, the current record holder with the most WSOP Circuit rings, was eliminated on the second day of the tournament and is not going to win his 13th ring in the Rotterdam Main Event.
The tournament will kick off at 1 p.m. local time and the plan is to either play eight one-hour levels or play down to a final table. PokerNews will be in Holland Casino Rotterdam to deliver written coverage of the Main Event for the entire duration of the tournament.
