Only 28 players out of 8,120 entries remain for Day 3 of the 2017 World Series of Poker Event #60: $888 Crazy Eights No-Limit Hold'em 8-Handed. Ian O'Hara leads the field of survivors with 5,660,000, and he aims to earn his first WSOP gold bracelet. The lion's share of the $6,489,502 prize pool is still up for grabs and the winner will take home a payday of $888,888.

O'Hara is followed by five players above four million in chips: Alexandru Papazian (4,840,000), Michael Tureniec (4,640,000), Eric "basebaldy" Baldwin (4,505,000), Vlad Darie (4,420,000) and Guillaume Diaz (4,090,000). Among the other hopefuls still in contention is 2017 Event #20: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em MILLIONAIRE MAKER winner Pablo Mariz, who emerged victorious from a huge field of 7,761 players to take home the championship and $1,221,407 for his efforts earlier this series. Mariz will head into Day 3 with an above-average stack of 2,500,000.

Other notables include Randy Pfeifer (2,595,000), WSOP all-time number of cashes leader Douglas Carli (2,050,000), South Korea's Vivian Im (1,545,000), Harry Lodge (1,400,000), Ray Qartomy (1,375,000), [Removed:172] (1,350,000), Danny Wong (1,240,000), Event #25: $1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha runner-up Jonathan Zarin (750,000) and two-time WSOP bracelet winner Ben Yu (610,000).

The action will recommence at 2 p.m. local time with level 29 and blinds of 40,000/80,000 with a running ante of 10,000. The tournament is scheduled to play down to a winner here on the Fourth of July, the Independence Day of the United States, and the PokerNews live reporting team will provide all the action from the floor.
