Day 3 Action

With one hour of late registration left from the start of Day 2, an additional 20 players joined the fray, bringing the total number of entrants to 189 and generating a prize pool of $1,757,700. While most of the late arrivals were quickly eliminated, Friedman managed to converty his Day 2 entry into the biggest stack by the end of the night while Chris Brewer also registered on Day 2 and ended up bagging 486,000.

Some notable players who were eliminated before the money include Daniel Negreanu, Robert Mizrachi, Stephen Chidwick, Josh Arieh, Phil Hellmuth, Patrick Leonard, Daniel Weinman, Scott Seiver, Jared Bleznick and Jerry Wong.

Ali Eslami

The money bubble lasted over two and a half hours across over 40 hands and saw several players double up before Ali Eslami and Chris Fraser were involved in a controversial hand where Fraser was all in automatically from the big blind only to receive a walk. Not long afterward, Viktor Blom became the official bubble boy after Hansen spiked a two-outer in a hand of limit hold’em to send the online legend to the rail in brutal fashion on the stone bubble. From that point on, the 29 remaining players were each guaranteed at least a min-cash of $20,214, but all eyes were on the WSOP bracelet and top prize of $413,446.

After Blom’s elimination, a slow and steady stream of eliminations followed with players such as Ben Yu, start-of-day chip leader Jordan Siegel, Brandon Shack-Harris and Jonathan Cohen all hitting the rail in the last level of the night before the end of play.

The action is set to resume Friday, July 12, at 2 p.m. local time at Level 18, featuring limits of 20,000-40,000 and blinds of 5,000/10,000. The plan for tomorrow is to play until a winner is crowned. As always, stay tuned to PokerNews as we bring you all the action leading up to the crowning of the inaugural $10,000 eight-game mix champion.
