Welcome to Day 3 of Event #64: $888 Crazy Eights No-Limit Hold'em
Day 3 of Event #64: $888 Crazy Eights No-Limit Hold'em gets underway at noon local time. Out of a five-figure field of 10,185 entrants, only 91 competitors return to the felt where they will continue to battle it out.
Starting the day as the chip leader will be Natalia Panchenko with a stack of 11,870,000. Closely trailing her is WSOP bracelet winner Scott Davies (11,855,000). Davies has over $1,370,000 in earnings at the WSOP and will try to add another big score to his resume.
Ryan Leng rounds up the top three with 11,765,000. Leng owns a bracelet and well and will be looking to add another one to his collection. Leng also has an impressive resume at the WSOP with over $1,280,000 in total cashes. He has secured nine cashes this summer and will be looking to reach his first final table of the 2019 WSOP. 888poker Ambassador Vivian Saliba sits in fourth with 9,565,000.
Other notables advancing alongside the chip leaders include champions Mark Radoja (7,170,000), Tommy Nguyen (5,885,000), David Williams (2,070,000), and Allyn Schulman (1,680,000).
The remaining players are all guaranteed a minimum of $6,957 but all eyes will be on the first-place prize of $888,888 as well as the shiny WSOP gold bracelet.
Today's plan is to play down to eight players with a 15-minute break every two levels and a 60-minute break after Level 6, at approximately 6:30 p.m. Action will resume at Level 30 with blinds of 60,000/120,000 with a 120,000 ante.
