Welcome to PokerNews' coverage of Day 3 of Event #37: $1,500 Monster Stack No-Limit Hold’em at Horseshoe and Paris, Las Vegas. A total of 3,217 survivors from the four starting flights took their seats at the start of Day 2, where the action was fast and furious as players exchanged jabs and built up million-chip stacks throughout the day. The money bubble burst during level 17 in brutal fashion when Lucas Martin's Kings ran into Diego Aro's Aces. When the dust settled, 464 players advanced to Day 3, where they will battle for a first-place prize of $1,204,457 and a coveted gold bracelet.
Jessie Bryant enters Day 3 as the chip leader with 3,815,000 chips. Bryant finished 17th in the 2024 World Series of Poker Main Event and won a circuit ring in Tunica this past January. Myles Mullaly (3,815,000) and Jason Maeroff (3,450,000) round out the top three stacks entering the day, with all three players in search of their first gold bracelet

Christopher Csik arrived late to the table and before he had even stacked his chips was dealt a hand and raised from early position to 60,000 only to face a three-bet from Leonid Vaisburg in late position to 155,000. Csik countered by moving all in, and he had Vaisburg covered. Vaisburg snap called.
Leonid Vaisburg: J♦J♣
Christopher Csik: K♦K♥
A pretty safe flop came for Csik of 5♠2♣6♦ and the turn obliged as well when it came the A♣, but then just as Vaisburg was standing up, the J♥ fell on the river and made him a set for a full double up.
