The Money Bubble Looms on Day 3 of the $3,500 Main Event

Adam Lamers

There will be 157 players returning to their seats for Day 3 of the $3,500 Main Event at the 2023 Wynn Millions. This will also be the first time that the entire field will be playing together as the survivors from each of the Day 2s will join forces. with just 134 places paid, everyone will have their sights set on reaching the money and locking up at least $8,386.

Leading the way after an impressive Day 2c is Jacob Powers who bagged up a stack of 1,082,000 chips, the only player to surpass the seven-figure mark. Powers has been near the top of the leaderboard throughout the event and is showing no signs of slowing down, coming off his career-high score of $500,000 just two months ago. Powers will be looking to apply pressure to the smaller stacks when the opportunity arises, but for now he will have to deal with some of the bigger stacks at his new table.

Other big stacks joining him on Day 3 include Lenard Adams who was battling him for the chip lead throughout most of the day yesterday. Adams continued to put his unorthodox play style to full use and finished Day 2c with a stack of 977,000 chips. The Day 2ab chip leader, Michael Rossitto, will come into the day in third place with a stack of 966,000 and looking to do some more damage. Alex Foxen, Lawrence Berg, Michael Dyer, and Jake Schwartz all sit in the top 10 on the leaderboard and have a big list of accomplishments as well.

The cards are slated to go in the air at 12 p.m. noon local time with the blinds resuming on level 15 at 3,000/6,000 and a 6,000 big blind ante. The levels will continue to be 90 minutes in length throughout the tournament with a 15-minute break after each level. There will be five levels on the schedule for today with no dinner break, meaning play could end around 9 p.m. tonight.
