Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

We began with 2,857 players three days ago and now only two remain. Nachman Berlin and Andre Akkari were engaged in a heads up battled that lasted past the allotted ten levels and they will continue play tomorrow.

Day 3 of play began with 34 players and through ten hours of play, all but two were eliminated. When play began today, Byron Kaverman was the chip leader holding 1,345,000 in chips, with Douglas Yamashiro and Simon Watt close on his heels. The day saw all three of these men sent to the rail before the final table. Chip lead traded places between many different players throughout the day’s play. Here we have listed the final table seat draw and the place they have finished:
