Day 3 of Event #23: THE MARATHON - $2,620 No-Limit Hold'em begins at 12:00 p.m. and 268 players are set to return to the felt and to rejoin the race for the money.
Everyone is chasing the first-place prize of $690,469 , but with the money bubble right around the corner with 264 places paid, players right now are focused on getting paid a guaranteed minimum of $3,934.
Leading the field by a wide margin is none other than 10-time WSOP Circuit Ring Champion Maurice Hawkins with 920,000 . Hawkins was near the top of the leaderboard at the end of Day 1 and kept on running away from the field throughout Day 2, creating a gap of just over 300,000 between himself and his next closest competitor. Hawkins is no stranger to winning and is on a mission to get his first ever WSOP bracelet. With the stack he holds and the skills to go with it, this could be the one.
In second place is Alexander Lynskey with 618,000 . Lynskey has recorded three top 10 live finishes this year and is on a roll. Not far behind him is three-time WSOP bracelet winner Adrian Mateos with 599,500 . Mateos is fresh off of his win in the Event #15: The $10,000 Heads Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship where he took home $324,470 . He is definitely a very dangerous opponent.
When play resumes players will play seven 100-minute levels and get a 15-minute break every level. Dinner break is 60 minutes long and scheduled for 7:30 p.m. after the fourth level. Play will start at Level 13 with 1500/3000 blinds and a 500 ante. Day 4 and Day 5 will play out over the next two days starting at noon until a champion is crowned.
