Money Bubble Looms on Day 3 of Event #26: $2,620 No-Limit Hold'em Marathon

There will be 188 players returning to the felt for Day 3 of Event #26: $2,620 No-Limit Hold'em Marathon. When the cards get in the air, everyone will have one initial goal in mind...to make the money! It won't be much of an issue for chipleader David Coleman who bagged a whopping 651,200 chips, enough for over 250 big blinds.

Coleman will be looking to carry his Day 2 momentum into today and will likely be using his big stack to apply some money bubble pressure. It will be a great opportunity for some of the big stacks to increase their lead as the action will tighten up. Some other big stacks to keep an eye on include Timothy Miles (483,400), Morten Mortensen (524,500), and Yu Dong (407,500) as the only other players above 400,000 chips.

There are also plenty of WSOP gold bracelet winners in the field who will be looking to add some more jewelry to their collection. Christopher Frank, David Pham, Adrian Mateos, and Ryan Leng are just some of those who still remain in contention. Along with a WSOP bracelet for the winner, they will also be granted a payday of $477,401 for first place. However, the first order of business will be to dwindle the field down to 163 players in order to make the money. A min-cash will earn you $3,928 but the money bubble could be a long one with the average stack hovering around the 80 big blind mark.

The action will resume in the Miranda Room at 1 p.m. local time with the blinds resuming at level 13. The blinds will be 1,200/2,400 with a 2,400 big blind ante. The levels will continue to be 100 minutes long with a 15-minute break after each level. A dinner break is scheduled to follow the fourth level which will take place at approximately 8:20 p.m. Another six levels are on the schedule for today at which point the remaining players will bag and tag to return for Day 4.

Follow along with the PokerNews live reporting team for full coverage of the day's action to see who will make it into the money today!

Joseph Cheong

Joseph Cheong raised from the early position, action folded to Andrew Sardella in the small blind who shoved for 52,200 and was called.

Andrew Sardella: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Joseph Cheong: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}

The flop came {7-Spades}{2-Hearts}{10-Clubs} which kept Cheong ahead and got Sardella up from his seat.

The turn was the {j-Clubs} which gave Sardella a glimmer of hope as he picked up a gutshot to a Broadway but he bricked the river as the {4-Clubs} completed the board. They shook hands before Sardella made his way out of the Miranda Room and the table broke to balance the other tables out.

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

Johan Guilbert limped in from under the gun and Ioannis Angelou-Konstas made it 8,400 in middle position. Neil Blumenfield stuck in a three-bet to 43,000 from the big blind only to have Guilbert four-bet shove all in. Konstas quickly folded but Blumenfield gave it some thought before making the call.

Johan Guilbert: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Neil Blumenfield: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The board ran out {8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and Blumenfield was sent to the rail in the early stages of Day 3.

Reichenstein Goes After the Chipleader

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

In one of the opening hands, there was a massive pot brewing on Table 606 between the chipleader David Coleman and Uri Reichenstein who also started with a healthy stack. The board read {j-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and there was already around 80,000 chips in the middle.

Coleman checked from the big blind and Reichenstein counted out a bet of 58,000. Coleman called and the {6-Diamonds} completed the board. Coleman checked again and Reichenstein slid out a bet of 162,000. Coleman thought for a minute but decided to send his cards to the muck.

Blanco Catches Mrakes

Shirley Ang
Shirley Ang
Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

Michal Mrakes was all-in from the small blind and Paco Blanco was sitting in the tank from the hijack with a substantial pot in the middle already on the {j-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} board. Tablemate Johan Schumacher was kind enough to relate what had transpired before:

Sergio Fernandez had opened from late position and was called by Blanco. Mrakes then three-bet to around 4.2 times the bet and only Blanco called. On the flop, Mrakes continued with a bet of around 30 percent of the pot which Blanco called. On the turn, Mrakes bet just over half of the pot and Blanco called again. And now they got to the point of the river where Mrakes shoved.

After tanking for a while, Blanco put in a stack of chips for the call, putting his tournament life at risk. Mrakes tabled {k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for the pair of fours on the board with the king-kicker and Blanco saw he was good with the {k-Hearts}{q-Spades} for two pair, queens and fours to double up for the 100,400 he still had behind at that point.
