We've made it to Day 3 of Event 35, $5,000 Pot-Limit Omaha. 11 players remain from the 363 that started in the field at 12 noon two days ago. Those 11 are fighting for the nine spots at the final table and -- of course -- the title of champion, $409,000 in first-place prize money and a spot in history as a WSOP gold bracelet winner.

Sorel Mizzi is in the pole position to start play with 969,000 chips. But PLO is a game of massive swings, as the swift and stunning elimination of Jesper Hougaard yesterday would suggest. Lots can -- an probably will -- happen between our 1pm start time and the moment that the final hand is played. Stay tuned to PokerNews.com for all of the action!
